About the Author
Jerry Garcia and David Grisman met at a bluegrass show in 1964 and collaborated on a variety of projects, including their 1973 band Old and In the Way. Jerry spent over thirty years writing and playing guitar with the Grateful Dead, while David revolutionized the mandolin with his own brand of acoustic music called "dawg" (a nickname Jerry gave him), which he continues to perform with his quintet. In 1990 they formed the Garcia/Grisman band and subsequently made new recordings, including the 1993 release Not for Kids Only, on which the song "Jenny Jenkins" appears.

Wonderful book,
By la chica boricua "portorra69" (Germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: What Will You Wear, Jenny Jenkins? (Hardcover)
This book is great, I work at a Day Care and the first time I put the cassette on, my kids just stay very quiet listening. When it was over they asked me over and over to put it again. Now, they even sing the song with me and dance. Even the other caregiver catch themselves singing Jenny Jenkins. The only problem is that I put it some much that the tape recorder at work ate my cassette, and the kids keep asking for Jenny Jenkins, I guess I'll buy another one, maybe a used one.

This review is from: What Will You Wear, Jenny Jenkins? (Hardcover)
I have the "Not for Kids Only" CD, which is great anyway, but the illustrations in this book, along with the included cassette tape, might have hit my all-time favorite kids story/song ranking!!! The illustrations are beautiful and silly and will help kids learn to read because of the predictability of the words and the corresponding colors in the illustrations. How could anyone NOT love it?

By "moon_devyl" (Ventura, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: What Will You Wear, Jenny Jenkins? (Hardcover)
I've always loved Jerry Garcia's work with the Grateful Dead, but when he teamed up with his longtime friend and bluegrass playing buddy David Grisman, I was more than excited to see the fruits of their efforts. This being one of a few, Jenny Jenkins is a very fun and playful song and children's book combined. Something young children should always be treated to as they grow and develop.
