Review: A Musical Story / Focus on Your Strengths / Practice Makes Perfect - Bought this as a part of our Five in a Row curriculum. A fun musical story about a boy who buys a harmonica and practices day and night. His hard work pays off when the town is unable to make music themselves at a very important celebration. The story helps kids realize that it is okay not to be great (or even good) at everything and encourages kids to focus on their strengths. The book also touches on jealousy and that with hard work and practice, practice, practice you can do amazing things. Was written in the 1940s and the illustrations reflect that time period. For secular homeschoolers / families: A great choice! Only mentions a church as apart of the town scenery.
Review: Harmonicas are fun to play -- this book is a testament to their usefulness - A nice children's book that shows how a harmonica can come in handy! Although it is "dated" it still applied to life!

A nice children's book that shows how a harmonica can come in handy! Although it is "dated" it still applied to life!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lentil
*by C***O on February 11, 2011*

I bought this book for our two youngest children to enjoy as our local library doesn't have it on their shelves. The pictures are beautiful and the story is just as charming. It is a good book to purchase for younger children who may be experiencing some insecurity when it comes to keeping up with their peers accomplishments. This story focuses on the importance of music (as a means of self expression and celebration of life),the ability to remain focused when all doesn't go as planned (Lentil saves the day when he plays his harmonica at the Homecoming Celebration for Col. Carter), and acceptance of accomplishments of others (Even old Sneep is happy about the hospital that Colonel Carter is having built for the townspeople).
