Although Giddins covers some of the same ground here as in Visions, it is a far more expansive study built on the idea that ...             Satchmo, Sheriff of Pugsley County1 review Satchmo McNastie Trafford Publishing, 2005 Not for 4-8 year olds This book is described as being for children ages 4-8. But there are far too many words per page and the vocabulary is more for good readers who are 9-12 and for adults. I love that it is about a rescue pug, and I used to have a black pug named Satchmo, so that endeared me to the book. But it's not really for children. I volunteer with my black pug in a library program called "Doggone Good ...             Satchmo Blows Up the World: Jazz Ambassadors Play the Cold War1 review Penny M.

The editors kept Armstrong's voice true to the legend and honest in its depictions of his sometimes harsh life in New Orleans. However, Artmstrong's sense of humor and goodness shine through his story and the reader really learns to like him as a person as well as a great musician. As a native New Orleanian, I really enjoyed his descriptions of the city ...             Louis Armstrong: The Offstage Story of Satchmo3 reviews Michael Cogswell Collectors Press, 2003 A great gift for any Louis Armstrong fan This is a wonderful coffee table book, perfect for paging through while listening to your favorite Louis Armstrong recordings.

It belongs in the children's literature section. It may be fine in that context, but I can't make such a judgment. I was somewhat taken aback when my copy arrived, and returned it immediately.             This Jazz Man10 reviews Karen Ehrhardt Harcourt Children's Books, 2006 this jazz man is #1! we got this book as a gift and thought it was pretty cute, but it has turned out to be one of our daughter's favorites! she even tries to snap along and she's only 14 months! i think the part we'll eventually like best is the bit of history included - there's a great description of the 9 jazz musicians showcased in the book. it's a lot of fun to read and there is a lot of interaction possible. ...             Louis Armstrong: Swinging, Singing Satchmo1 review Sandford Brown Bt Bound, 1999 It's almost like "Satchmo" is back!
