TIMMY TIME

May 1, 2003 12:00 PM

Step aside, Spiderman, a new hero has arrived. No, he doesn't do much crime-fighting, and he doesn't appear to have any real superpowers — aside from mad skills on the decks, that is — but Turntable Timmy is a spinning tot determined to become the world's youngest DJ champ. Through 32 illustrated pages, author Michael Perry and illustrator Doug Cunningham tell the tale of this 8-year-old hip-hop hopeful: “He has his eyes on the prize, they twinkle and gleam. Double-T on a mission to fulfill his dream. Only one deejay can be crowned the king — the greatest of all, top dawg supreme.” Best of all, while readers are learning about Timmy's hard work and determination, they can listen to the included three-song soundtrack provided by DJ QBert. To order Turntable Timmy (Freewill Press; $18.95), visit www.freewillpress.com.
