New Releases by Carol Friedman

When Nicky was a baby cat he only could meow. Then he met his cool jazz friends. Just look at what he plays now. He plays trumpet, vibes and saxophone. This jazz cat even sings. All the cats from pops to prez say he¿s the king of swing! Author and photographer Carol Friedman adopted Nicky when he was a 6-week-old kitten and photographed him as soon as she got him home. Nicky loved posing for the camera and routinely walked onto the set as if he owned it. These delightful photos show him with jazz instruments and even famous singers and musicians such as Lena Horne and Gerry Mulligan.

Nicky's Jazz Christmas, the third book in the Nicky the Jazz Cat series by award-winning author Carol Friedman, is a delightful Christmas book for children, combining the syncopated rhythms of jazz, charming Nicky photographs and hip holiday cheer. Nicky the Jazz Cat is back - just in time for the holidays - this time sharing his jazzy version of Christmas. Nicky's Jazz Christmas contains more charming, funny photographs of Nicky, accompanied by the rhyming, swinging text that has been the hallmark of the award-winning Nicky The Jazz Cat series.
