Introduces the famous saxophonist and his style of jazz known as bebop. You don't have to know jazz, play the saxophone, or even have a cat to get into this most original picture book. The words were inspired by "Night in Tunisia"--the so-called bebop anthem that Charlie Parker (1920-1955) helped make famous--and reflect that wordless piece's rhythm and nuance.
