Customer Reviews

Leo loves Theo!

Our son LOVES this book. Every time we read it, he implores us to read it, "Again!" The writing is gripping and detailed, yet succinct. The illustrations are vibrant and full of musical references. I highly recommend this book.

happy mom

Our daughter loves this book. For a while it was the only book she wanted to read every single night. We are buying it for our friends' children now.

Theo and the Blue Note

My children and I loved the book so much that we bought several copies to give to family and friends. With the entertaining story and vibrant illustrations, no wonder why my kids want to read it over and over again.

Theo and the Blue Note

Theo and the Blue Note is a wonderful book, fun, colorful and humorous. The smallest viewer and the oldest reader can enjoy it. I only wish it had come with a cd of the musical greats mentioned. Peter has a magical style with the spray art technique and the colors used. I look forward to his next children's book. I think it is a must this holiday for all my friends with and without children

Joys of Jazz

Highly regarded graphic novelist (and Spy vs. Spy artist) Peter Kuper has written a book for kids (4-8), and it's a total pleasure. Theo is a young cat with a horn who takes a rocket ship to the moon, where he meets jazz legends like Duck Ellington and Charlie Porker and gives them just what they need-- one beautiful blue note. I've enjoyed Kuper's grown-up books for a long time. This is a great way to introduce his work to kids, and introduce kids to the joys of jazz.
