Skit-Scat Raggedy Cat

"Skit-Scat Raggedy Cat" is an excellent addition to any book collection, but especially to any late elementary-middle school music classroom. This book introduces the reader to jazz legend, Ella Fitzgerald. It tells the story of her meager childhood and how her passion and talent helped her follow her dream of being an acclaimed musician. With lively prose by Roxane Orgill and colorful illustrations by Sean Qualls, readers follow the gutsy Ella from school-girl days to a featured spot with Chick Webb’s band and all the way to her number-one radio hit "A-Tisket, A-Tasket."
