Jazz Fly 2 W/CD: The Jungle Pachanga [With CD (Audio)]

In this Foreword Reviews Book of the Year GOLD AWARD WINNER, Gollub welcomes young readers to Spanish language and Latin jazz. In fact, he introduces forty zippy Spanish phrases to thoroughly entertain children of all backgrounds. The first Spanish word is "pachanga" or dance party. The book contains a CD and FREE AUDIO DOWNLOAD. Gollub's rhythmic, MUST-HEAR narration features the same instrumentation as the original Jazz Fly (sax, piano, bass and drums), plus congas, bongos, timbales and more played by master Latin percussionist John Santos. Follow Karen Hanke's witty illustrations deep into the rain forest, chant along in Spanish and jazz scat--but watch out for the dangers that lurk around the termite nest. Like the Fly, and the author himself, you'll be glad you learned to speak a second language! Other awards for this multi-media package include International Book Awards Winner, Parents' Choice Award, and the Moonbeam Children's Book GOLD MEDAL. Ideal for ages 5-9, beloved by children, parents and teachers alike!
