Welcome to Jazz: A Swing-Along Celebration of America’s Music, Featuring “When the Saints Go Marching In” (Welcome to Music! Sound Button Books)

Bought this for my 12 year old who has special needs/ disabilities and loves music. He LOVES this book so much! He wants me to read it to him multiple times a day! Beautiful pictures, and as a musician myself I appreciate that the music samples are legit, good quality

Our 2.5 year old son loves it. My wife and I are both musicians and we are trying to expose him to a variety of music and instruments. He loves pressing the buttons and has learned the names of all of the instruments. The book itself is more about what jazz music is rather then an actual story so the book part is probably for older kids who can understand what it is saying but the exposure to the actual sounds of these instruments is a lot of fun for him.

She has other music books but this is by far my Granddaughters favorite. She knows all of the instruments and has us all marching to When the Saints! Great Book!

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.

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 daughters, 7 and 3.5 love to read this book together and push the buttons to hear the instruments. We have the other one, Welcome to the Symphony as well and buy these for birthday and holiday gifts for friends and family. This version has a button on the back to turn the sound off--at first I thought the book was broken but then I realized it was a brilliant update :) The book not only helps my little one with reading as she follows along and pushes the buttons, but it has also developed her ear for different types of instruments when we listen to music together. The rich pictures and story lines of the little characters navigating their ways through understanding what IS jazz makes it engaging as well as informative. Keep these books coming, Carolyn Sloan!

My kid receive as a gift the Opera book and we knew that we wanted more of these books so we bought Welcome to Jazz and he loves it. He recognizes all the instruments now and imitates the sound (he is 2.5 years)

Great book that introduces jazz concepts to young ones. But the song gets annoying for adults after a couple of plays!

数字の部分を押すだけなので子供でも簡単に音が出せます。 聞ける音楽は聖者の行進1曲のみ16小節だけ。 楽曲を構成している楽器グループ毎に聞くことが出来るのはいいですが、それにしても、この内容ではコスパが悪く感じた。 電源はボタン電池3つ。

Really cool jazz book. There are not enough books out there like this so I'm glad I found this one. Wonderful music buttons that play when you push them.

Só as ilustrações não prendem a atenção de uma criança por muito tempo. Poderia ser trabalhado isso

Got for my son’s 3rd birthday. Massive hit! The way the story builds with the instruments and song segments is great.
