When Louie goes looking for a father, he meets Barney. Barney accuses Louie of stealing a music box from his truck, but Louie says he didn't do it. It's up to Louie's mother to settle the conflict and reveal that meeting Barney may be the beginning of the end of Louie's search. This heartwarming tale features the same collage art and colorful urban setting that are featured in Keats' popular books A Letter to Amy and Peter's Chair.

Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
" `What kind of neighborhood is this?' thought Louie. `Nobody notices a kid around here.' " Fans of Ezra Jack Keats will recognize his signature collage style in Louie's Search, in which the young hero finds a special companion in his neighborhood. First published in 1980, Keats's message still applies: love can be found in the most unusual places.

4.0 out of 5 stars
great book,
By Dhiraj Masih (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Louie's Search (Hardcover)
simple story, simple (but very well done and complex in their creation) illustrations, great book. i grew up with this as a small kid (one of many in a large collection of books bought whenever the local library had sales for used books), and it will always remain a classic in my mind.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Sweet Surprise Ending!,
This review is from: Louie's Search (Hardcover)
Colorful illustrations and a simple straight forward story with a happy surprise ending make "Louie's Search" a fun read-a-loud.
Kids love Ezra Jack Keats and this story is perfect for a second grader to read independently. Also a good spring board for writing about your own adventures.
