Product Details
Otis Redding and Steve Cropper's timeless ode to never-ending days is given fresh new life in this heartwarming picture book.
“This amiable story can be taken at face value about the power of kindness, or can offer children an introduction to music as well as songwriting. A great summer-day song with such cheerful art makes it easy to recommend this.” ―School Library Journal
"Sittin’ in the mornin’ sun
I’ll be sittin’ when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I’ll watch ’em roll away again, yeah . . ."
(Sittin’ on) The Dock of the Bay is a charming picture book set to one of the King of Soul’s™ greatest hits. The song was one of the last Redding recorded, and ranked number four on Billboard’s year-end Hot 100 chart, going on to win two GRAMMYs and be certified triple-platinum.
With lyrics by Otis Redding and Steve Cropper and illustrations by Kaitlyn Shea O’Connor, this picture book imagines a lonesome cat fishing off a dock and hoping the fish will bite soon. (Sittin’ on) The Dock of the Bay is the perfect picture book for parents wanting to share a classic song with their children, allowing both to find joy in it along the way.
