This Indie Next #1 Recommended book, and Benjamin Franklin Book Award winner, celebrates language and the inventive spirit of “ZA-baza, BOO-zaba, ZEE-za RO-ni!” The book includes 3 listening options: a QR code, audio CD, and free audio download featuring Gollub's narration set to a jazz quartet. To listen as you read along, use the QR code, free audio download, or traditional CD. All options come with the book!

The fly, who speaks jazz, asks which way to town. "Rrribit," replies the frog. "Oink," says the hog. Although baffled, the fly hears music in their words, and that evening he uses the animal sounds to set the insect dinner club a hoppin.' The computer-enhanced artwork of Karen Hanke perfectly complements the text and audio. Get ready to tap, snap, and swing to the beat as Nancy the Gnat, Willie the Worm, and Sammy the Centipede take the stage.

Here's a combination of storytelling, visual art, and music for children to savor time and again. The story has been performed by professionals and children on three continents! Other honors include Writer's Digest National Self-Published Book Award Winner, Smithsonian's Notable Books for Children, and San Francisco Chronicle Editors' Picks.
