An exuberant and heartwarming picturebook, ideal for public library collections.

A classic Golden Book by Jack Bechdolt (1884-1954) re-illustrated with care and enthusiasm by internationally exhibited artist Dan Yaccarino, Little Boy with a Big Horn is a picturebook about a bespectacled little boy named Ollie who is learning to play a big brass horn. But the horn makes so much noise it disrupts the neighbors; what is a boy to do? He tries playing further and further away, and finally rows out to sea, only to find that the bell buoy marking reef rocks in foggy weather is missing! His far-reaching brass horn notes warn an oncoming ship and save the day, and as a reward he is given the chance to go to music school. An exuberant and heartwarming picturebook, ideal for public library collections.
