A Tip Tap Tale Denise Gallagher

BouZou, a singing, guitar playing hound dog is happy at home in his Louisiana swamp performing for the mudbugs and bullfrogs and stars above. When a cat named Slick Jim Jack shows up and entices BouZou to perform in the big city of New Aw-Leens, he can’t resist the tales of a gold guitar, t-bone steaks, and endless rubber balls. This Tip Tap Tale follows BouZou and Slick Jim Jack as they amble along, howling and singing a hound dog song with a triple twist and turn about—performing for the cheering, adoring crowds in New Aw-Leens. But an unshakable nemesis could spell trouble for BouZou and his newfound fame. Be-bop along with the colorful characters and lyrical language that make A Tip Tap Tale a fun-to-read romp through the swamps and big city of a jazzy Louisiana landscape.
