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

By James Howe

Book Overview

Horace and Morris, but mostly Dolores, are back again for another uproarious adventure. When the three best friends decide to try out for the school chorus together, they're shocked when Dolores (who can only sing notes that no one has ever heard before) is the only one who doesn't make the cut. After all, they've always done everything together. Once Horace and Morris start chorus practice, they're so busy that they don't have time to go exploring or climb trees with Dolores anymore. Feeling left out and alone, Dolores decides to take 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!
