PreSchool-Grade 3-Walter Dean Myers' fun picture book (Holiday, 2000) about a junkyard dog turned celebrated blues musician works wonderfully as a book/cassette kit thanks to Charles Turner's spirited narration and Mark "Dog" Deffenbaugh's bluesy guitar strumming. Nina Laden's vibrant pastel paintings capture the adventures of the anthropomorphic titular character, a teenaged pooch in hip attire who loves playing the blues.

I met Walter Dean Myers a couple of times. The book even includes a blues song with music, so you could work with the music department to help students pen original blues songs. had the honor to be his driver for his visit to Norman. I have always described him as a gentle bear of a man. Tall and powerful but comfortable with his gentle side. But their no-good owner, .

The blues are an old style of music, born in hard times. But blues music takes a sad situation and makes it joyful.

This is not your typical picture book, though young children will enjoy it too. It is more like a beginning chapter book.

Great clock. We love it at work but as bus drivers we noticed there is a door showing. The door woukd be on the other side and where the door is should be the stop sign.

While many readers best know the recently deceased Walter Dean Myers for his middle grade and YA novels, many of which sheding light on the certain on the African-American experience, he also penned a few picture books, and I fell in love with “The Blues of Flats Brown” just from seeing the cover.

Long ago in a junkyard lived a dog named Flats Brown, who loves playing the Blues for him and his fellow canine bud, Caleb.

However, their no-good owner, A.J. Grubbs wasn’t keen on music (or much anything else) except making his dogs fight in the underground…

But Flats and Caleb are lovers, not fighters, especially ‘Ol Caleb, who with his arthirtis has no business being in a combat zone!

Now these dogs are on the run, with the hopes of finding a peaceful life, where Flats can sing the Blues, without having to live it…

Picture books are often equated to poetry, whether or not they rhyme, and especially with a story clearly hinging on the power of music such as this one.

As I said about Nina Laden’s “Bad Dog” this book would made a rad song, it would actually make an awesome audio drama. (if they could get some smoking musical talent [and possibly get James Earl Jones to narrate it while he’s still on this planet] to really take it to town) Walter gives us a crackerjack southern twang to the narratitve that doesn’t give the reader a migrane.

When editors tell writers to use dialect selctively and sparingly, this book expertly shows what they mean.

You feel the uncanny southern drawl in the text, without the reader tripping over awkward or uncommon spelling of words.

It also avoids What I call the “Bumpkin Syndrome” that makes southern characters sound dumb when they’re clearly anything but!

Nina Laden’s illusrations really sing in this book, while I love her quirky angled characters in her more cartoonish solo words, for “Flats Brown” she navigates the hazy nexus between “Anthropomorhic” and “Naturaltistic” schools of thought in the fantastical fauna landscape, delivering an idea of how a more modern reinterptration of the “Beatrix Potter” tradtion would look like: Given the “Deep South” treatment.

Walter Dean Myers will be a man and author missed by many, my thoughts and prayers go out to the family, friends, and colleagues who knew him better than most.

I’ve only just started to mine the uvre this writer has left behind, and this is also one of those picture books I would happily offer/recommend to older kids and even teens without hesitation, and it also would make a non-preachy conversation starter regarding animal abuse without scaring younger children, but still adressing it orgaincally and truthfully in the story.

“The Blues of Flats Brown” is a poigant but hopeful tale that has the heart of the south, the prose of a lyricist, and the charm those of us lucky to have a “Flats” in our life know all too well…Even if they couldn’t carry a tune.

Walter Dean Myers has written many children's books with musical themes. Both his book "Jazz", as well as "Blues Journey", are illustrated by his son Christopher. I just got this earlier book with illustrations by Nina Laden. I can't say I'm as impressed by Laden's characterization of "Flats", the young dog blues player, but she gets the older characters right. Myers continues to write his stories with the real slang of the south and this can lead to further discussion by the young reader (or the person reading this to others) of what these words mean.

This is a simple book in a value-priced paperbound format. I collect blues records and, the fact that, the history of blues singers is getting exposure to young children is the reason I'm recommending this book. Check out the other books that Myers (the senior one) has authored. Nearly all of them flow like a nice three-stanza blues (one of which -including the tablature - is included on the last page.).

This was a very cute story about the desire of two animals that wanted to follow their dream, to play blues music. It also shows that fighting is not something you have to do, even if you are pushed into it. The author made a point of explaining to the reader that if you show someone kindness and caring (even though they may not be kind or caring), it may turn that person's feelings around. This is a wonderful story that has several themes, and should be shared with children.

Friends are more important than money. Making music is better than fighting. These are the two lessons Myers successfully conveys in this story. The language used in this tale flows like the words in a blues song. Although I widh that the dogs were a little less anthropomorphically drawn (Flats looks like a teenager in a dog suit), the illustrations reflect the "down home" tone of the story. Overall, this is an excellent picture book.
