What a nice book for any educator that sings in their classroom. Great for any elementary age student. Basically, the book lets you know that anyone can sing with a little help. It may take a little longer than others, but don't shy away from your dreams and goals!

Wonderful little book!

This story is so much more than one about a little girl who doesn't get into the chorus when her best friend does.

Horace, Morris and Dolores love to sing and they all try out for the chorus. Morris and Horace are in the chorus, but Dolores is not. Moustro Provolone tells Dolores that she just doesn't have an ear for music. Dolores writes Moustro Provolone a letter and he reconsiders.

There are plenty of things to discuss with a child. Feelings that Dolores has after her friends get in and she doesn't. She is hurt, angry and resentful. And feels lonely. Dolores is persistent in pursuing a goal she loves. Her friends support her and are true friends. Many of the situations are ones little kids into and they can learn from Dolores.

I love this book, but better than me liking it, by daughter likes it and asks for it at bedtime most nights. I highly recommend the book as its a clever read and for its appeal to a kid's sensibilites too.

This was a great Because it shows that avery one is good at something. Becuase Horace can sing high notes and Morris can sing low notes. But there friend Dolores just sings notes that no one had ever heard before. So he gets cut from the chorus because and just cant sing at all. so he writes a letter to teachers. Saying he loves to sing. Then the teacher reades it and its a peom so he lets Dolores sing it in the concert.

Horace and Morris are two talented singers. Dolores decides to for the three of them to join the school chorus. Now, the only problem is, is that Dolores can't really sing that well. Horace sings the high notes, Morris sings the low notes, and Dolores just sings off key.
After trying out in front of Moustro Provolone, Horace and Morris make the "team", but Dolores gets cut. Dolores starts feeling sad for herself, but pulls through and thinks up a way to get into the chorus. After writing a letter to Moustro Provolone, he realizes her true talent, and invites her to help him.

A nice rhymed lesson that there is a place for everyone in a chorus, after the cheesy Moustro gets convinced. Horace and Morris sing well, Boris and Chloris listen fine, but Dolores, well Dolores is another story.
