Jazz Fly 2: The Jungle Pachanga

Jazz Fly 2: The Jungle Pachanga is an exciting sequel to The Jazz Fly (item 839884) that introduces Spanish phrases and Latin jazz.

The fly's band needs a lift to the tropical pachanga, or dance party. A sloth, spider monkey, and macaw are willing to help but only if the fly can first chant the right words in Spanish.

At the Latin-style nightclub, local insects adore the fly's music. But dangers lurk outside the termite nest. Scat-singing like never before, the fly unwittingly triggers an emergency that only his creativity–and newly-learned Spanish–can resolve.

The book includes both a CD and QR code which leads to an audio track that features rhythmic storytelling set to authentic, irresistible music played by a jazz quintet. Karen Hanke's witty illustrations will transport young listeners deep into the rainforest. Jumping with bongo drums, conga drums, sax solos and more, the spirited adventure welcomes readers to Spanish (40 Spanish words and phrases woven into the English text) and Latin jazz.
