Ben's Trumpet

Ben's Trumpet by Rachel Isadora is a story about a child who dreams of being a jazz musician. The story encompasses a theme about accomplishing, or striving to accomplish ones dreams. The character in the story, Ben, has a fantastic imagination that could show students the power of their imaginiations in their own lives. The illustrations are all black and white, but each page is different from the one before which is very interesting. I found the book to have a good lesson, and was very interesting because it is different from the typical picture book. I liked the artistic theme in it, both about the music and the books artwork.
