Book Overview
In this Newbery Honor-winning picture book, a young boy falls in love with the incredible music that his neighbor makes. Zeke, a nine-year-old boy with a lame leg, lives five flights up in a house in Harlem and amuses himself by looking out the windows. When the Jazz Man with his wonderful music moves into a bright yellow room across the courtyard, Zeke's life takes on new meaning. He doesn't think about the jobs his father works or how his mother goes up and down five long flights of stairs of stairs every day with the dreamy blues adding color to the drab world. But what would happen to Zeke's dream is the Jazz Man leaves?

A wonderful book called the jazz man
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Ok I thought the book was wonderful. It gave you so much detail.First- It didn't matter whether he had a lame leg or not. He still got around what ever he did because he could walk up and down stairs.Next- His mother and father didn't leave him. It was just a dream he had about his mother and father leaving him and there not being any food.Then- He walks down the stairs andacross the street. He sees the jazz man, tony, Manuel, and Ernie plaing there instuments. He goes in to the resturtant and here's a voice and it sounds like his father. He looks up and it is his father.He wakes up and sees his father and mother.That is my point of view of the jazz man.
