There were so many wonderful messages in this book. It went beyond the obvious. This book had...
- a taste of history
- rhythm with word play
- a lesson on moving beyond a solitary existence
- a lesson on venturing forward with confidence
- problem solving
- building coping skills
- group dynamics
Those were only a few things. I loved it!

This is one of the absolute best children's books I've read in a long time. My wife and I absolutely love it! It tells a great story of community with wonderful examples of onomatopoeia. The illustrations are great, too!

Fine story of a doo-wop singer turned school janitor who teaches the quietest children in the school to sing and dance. Internal rhymes in the young narrator's text have an appropriately musical feel.
My favorite element is the illustrations. There's a blocky element that has its own rhythm, and the kids' expressions are as realistic as candid photos from a city classroom. I olny wish they had more of a skin-tone range to reflect the full African-American spectrum.

Doo-Wop Pop tells a story of how a beloved school janitor helped four shy children become more confident in themselves and make friends as he taught them to find the music in their everyday life.
