Louie's Search
by Ezra Jack Keats
So, I had another old review from living with my family. I'm posting it now. I hardly remember this story and I can't say I'm a fan of it.
Review
One day Louie goes out of his house with a bag on his head trying to catch the interest of a man who might want to be his father. As he’s walking he sees a moving truck that a music box fell out of and he picks up to give it back. The man sees him and calls him a crook and drags him back to his apartment to yell at him and his mother all the while accusing the kid of being crooked and sneaky. The mom soothes him and he realizes the boy was trying to help him. He gives him the music box and the yelling man and the mom begin dating. The end is a marriage.
This makes me nervous. The man was gruff and angry and this is the man your going to marry and have for a step-dad??? This had a feel of the beginning of domestic violence to me. I didn’t care for it. Poor Louie.
Nephew hated this one. There wasn’t anything fun or exciting about this. He needs some magic something if there is drama. He didn’t like the old man. He gave this 1 star.
