Alley Cat's Meow

[library_mama]

The Alley Cat’s Meow by Kathi Appelt. Illustrated by John Goodell. It’s the swingin’ 1930s, in a world populated by truly cool cats. Red takes the B-train and Ginger takes the Catanooga Choo-Choo to that famous jazz club, the Alley Cat’s Meow. Sparks fly as they meet (the good kind) and their dancing wows first the club and then the world. Appelt’s rhyming text should appeal to the young, while Goodell’s detailed oil paintings make this a treat especially for lovers of classic swing.
