Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| 5 stars...When Ella inherits her great-aunt's beagle, Trumpet, she has mixed feelings about the dog's high-energy, face-licking greetings. It was nice to have someone always so incredibly happy to see her, but Trumpet was so wiggly! The big trouble, though, came at music practice. As a serious voice student, Ella practiced singing every day after school, and again after dinner. The trouble was that Trumpet thought she was a singer, too, and every time Ella sang, Trumpet howled. The louder Ella sang, the louder Trumpet howled. How could Ella practice?
It may be hard for kids in general to identify with Ella's vocal talents, but there are good themes of working hard for a goal, and the value of friends to help you achieve your goals. With a girl protagonist, girls are the more likely readers, but Trumpet is hilarious, lively entertainment if a boy reads the book.
This is the second book in a series of adventuresome dog books -- some more girlie than others. (See my reviews - Runaway Retriever (Pet Trouble), Mud-Puddle Poodle (Pet Trouble), Bulldog Won't Budge (Pet Trouble).) It is not necessary to read Runaway Retriever first, but it is fun if you do, because this book references the same kids and a few of the same events. Great for ages 9-12.
