Ellla Fitzgerald-The Tale of a Vocal Virtuoso
by Andrea Davis Pinkney

Summary: A brief recounting of the career of this jazz musician in the voice of "Scat Cat Monroe."

The cat speaks in lingo of the jazz era. Though children may not be familiar with these words, I think they would enjoy the rhythm of the words, especially when read to in a lively manner.
