Hardcover
(Viking Juvenile, Sept. 21, 2006)
All Theo the cat wants to do is play the sax, even though he only knows one note. But when a rocket ship equipped with a jazz-playing jukebox zooms him to the moon, Theo meets the jazz combo of his dreams Charlie Porker, Nat King Cobra, Duck Ellington, and more. He gets to jam with the greats, who show Theo that theres more to being a jiving cool cat than just one blue note. Peter Kupers one-of-a-kind illustrationscreated using intricately cut stencils, spray paint, and collageshake and shimmy across the page, just like jazz itself.
