Play, Louis, Play

This Bluebonnet nominee is written from the perspective of an old, hock-shop cornet that reports on the life of Louis Armstrong. Based on Armstrong's personal journal, the horn creates a narrative biography capturing his childhood, idols, hardships and success while maintaining his positive spirit.



If perspective is your lesson of the week, this is a great chapter book read aloud that can be started on a Monday and finished by Friday. If you are looking to pair it with a writing exercise, ask my about my "loofah" lesson. ;-)
