Requests:  0 Summary:  Presents a rhythmic tribute to Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie, and their creation of bebop. "Gr 3 UpThis book's capable creators capture the flavor of "Salt Peanuts," a bebop classic associated with Charlie "Bird" Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. Golio has previously tackled the challenge of using words to present musicians as diverse as Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, and John Coltrane. The free verse is arranged to conjure speed and playfulness, and the imagery is amusing, i.e., Dizzy's puffy cheeks are compared to a frog's. The performance is presented as a game: "They take turns,/tossing notes back and forth like jugglers,/or play at the same time,/&Two heartsone heartbeat." As they race to the finale, "Bird keeps flying, and Dizzy/well, he's just plain dizzy!/They'll never catch each other,/but that's the point." The ever-experimental Young uses gouache and bursts of orange and pink pastel strokes to form Gillespie and his hot trumpet, whereas Coltrane's saxophone sounds are rendered in greens and blues. The golden brown paper is a subtle nod to the song's title and an effective foil for the color. Accordion pages pull out into a long spread, with the first side establishing the performers and their relationship. A river of ink on the water-repellant paper forms a beaded curvy linethe music pulsing across the gutters, climaxing in a rainbow of percussion. On the reverse, the letters of "bebop" blast out, morphing into frolicking abstractions. A brief afterword creates a context for bebop and encourages listening. It also admonishes readers to "pick up your crayons and draw!" That charge will be irresistible.Wendy Lukehart, District of Columbia Public Library" Awards:  A Junior Library Guild selection Audience:  Elementary Grade.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library E -- Easy/Picture Books Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library E -- Easy/Picture Books Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList Molokai Public Library E -- Easy/Picture Books Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList Naalehu Public Library E -- Easy/Picture Books Golio Checked In Add Copy to MyList
