Welcome to Jazz: A Swing-Along Celebration of America’s Music, Featuring “When the Saints Go Marching In” Hardcover – Sound Book, October 15, 2019

Purchased this for my 3 yo grandson’s birthday. We read it together at first. After that he kept getting it out, turning the pages and listening to the music. The large buttons have a small area to push to play the sounds of the various instruments in a jazz band. This makes the child pay attention to which button he/she needs to push and what instruments they pick. The story line is a little advanced for 3-4 year olds, but still fun to read with them. This is a great way to help your child learn reading and musical instrument sounds. Explains the basics of a jazz band and keeps it simple enough for a child to understand. Should be a good book for him the next couple of years. Only minor complaint would be the page paper could be a touch thicker - children can be tough on books! Get this instead of putting your child in front of a tablet!

Three levels of text so as the child matures they can absorb more information about jazz and the instruments. The music is such fun that my grandson loves pushing the buttons and listening to the sounds. He loves the sound of the drums. I love the tuba! And you can turn off the sound AND change the batteries when they go dead.

Such a hit, we’ve already replaced the batteries since it’s been a daily read in our house for about 6 months now.

We received this as a gift for my son's 3rd birthday, and I've since bought it 2 more times for other friends' kids - a hit every time. It is great. Gave him a real curiosity about different musical instruments, teaches some knowledge, the audio snippets are great, and the battery lasted a good while.

I gave it only 4 stars because our 11 year old special needs son, who has cerebral palsy, has trouble activating the buttons in the exact spot to get the music to play. Other musical books that he has, the button is a larger activation spot. But the music, illustrations, and explanation of a jazz band are very high quality. As a jazz musician and tap dancer, I was excited to share this with my son. The quality of the musical clips are very nice; not at all "tinny" or annoying like some other kids' musical books.

My grandson loves it!

My 3 year old loves this book! I also like that it gave some history along with teaching them context.

Kids love it!
