1-3Magic Tree House series.
Illustrated by
Sal Murdocca.
Siblings Jack and Annie time travel to 1915 New Orleans in search of the young Louis Armstrong: they must get him on track to share his musical gift with the world. This is one of the better--smoother, more compelling--recent books in the series (a superfluous run-in with a ghost notwithstanding). The well-composed black-and-white illustrations occasionally span two pages.
