Ben's Trumpet by Rachel Isadora

3.0

Likeable little picture book about a kid who loves music. The story's fairly simple, but what really sets this book apart and makes it a little different from the average is the art. The illustrations are really sophisticated, a black and white art deco set of drawings, appropriate to the jazz age in which the story is set. Really, it's no surprise that the story's so simple and there are very few words, because I imagine everyone who picks this up is looking more at the pictures than the text.
