Great Children's Book For All Ages

This is an excellent book. The author of this book is themother of a friend of mine. She is a great author and you will lovethis book. She wrote this book in 3 different kinds of musical ways: Blues, Swing, and Jazz. It isn't hard to figure out what parts are which. I would recommend this book to anyone. It is REALLY good.

Everybody gets the blues

This is a wonderful book on the subject of moods. The protagonist has the low-down laudry line blues and as she looks at an empty clothes line across the street she recognizes her own feelings as being similarly empty. Meanwhile her pesky, persistent, little sister is feeling fulled up with energy. Little sister lets her energy overflow as she shows her big sister that the empty clothes line can be used to lift the spirits. The story verse has almost a blues music sound to it that children will love repeating. As a librarian of juvenile literature I recommend the use of this book when discussing moods with pre-school and primary children
