  | Book Details Title: Jazz Fly 3: The Caribbean Sea (3) (Jazz Fly series) |
Book DescriptionReview “The story is about a musical fly and his band who perform jazz chants with French and Spanish words aboard an international cruise ship. But when the lovesick Captain Cockroach abandons the helm to write poetry, only the band’s Caribbean jazz can prevent a full-scale panic – and then a thunderstorm makes matters even worse! Music educators will find that Jazz Fly 3 incorporates rare time signatures when the fly counts to three, five, and seven in French. An author’s note and a glossary of French and Spanish words round out this delightful multimedia showcase, highly recommended especially for music-loving children. Jazz Fly 3: The Caribbean Sea also makes a great family gift!” —Midwest Book Reivew Read more About the Author Matthew Gollub is a nationally known children’s author, speaker, and performer.

The artwork is just beautiful and the narration, the music and the French and Spanish words are ¡fabuloso! After many listens, my kids still get completely absorbed, and my little one says they should make this into a movie. Jazz Fly and his band are playing music on a cruise ship when Captain Cockroach falls hard for Nancy the Gnat and stops steering the ship to write poetry. Pirate crabs raid the food buffet. Then, before you know it, the musicians are adrift… Now my kids bounce around the house saying “Mucho gusto,” “Fantastique!” between counting to seven in French. Really nice feature that we can download the audio. We keep it on my iPad and play it through our living room speakers. (There’s a lot of rich sound effects you won’t want to miss!) I can’t say enough good things about this book / music package! Highly recommended for families and as a gift!
