Horace and Morris Join the Chorus (But What about Dolores?)

By James Howe

Book Overview

Best friends Horace, Morris, and Dolores do everything together. So when they try out for the chorus and Dolores (who sings notes no one has ever heard before) doesn't get in, she feels hurt and angry and -- not like Dolores at all -- sorry for herself. But mostly she feels lonely, with her friends too busy rehearsing to have time to share adventures with her. So Dolores does what she does best and takes matters into her own hands. But can she prove to Moustro Provolone that there's a place for every kind of voice in the chorus?

Customer Reviews

Clever and Sweet

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.

Horace, Morris, and Dolores in a Chorus Cause Such Tzurris

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.

Wonderfully Written

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!
