Jazzy Miz Mozetta by Brenda Roberts, illustrated by Frank Morrison 2004
Miz Mozetta takes a stroll on a moonlit evening in her firecracker red dress, and “pizzazzy” hat. She encounters her friends who want her to sit tight with them, but she is drawn to the young boys dancing across the street. She excitedly invites her friends to move to the beat, but they decline with weak excuses. The young kids don’t seem to think she can keep up with them, so she exits the scene and heads inside.
As she listens to the Fat Cat Band on the radio she recalls a time where she and her friends filled a ballroom with jazz music and the jitterbug. Just as her feet begin to itch for a dance, her friends appear. What happens next bridges the gap between young and old, and makes for a music-filled, bebopping good time.
Appropriate for ages 4-8
