(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Frank Morrison. Louis Armstrong's first trumpet narrates this story of Satchmo's boyhood. From his playing a toy horn around his New Orleans neighborhood to leading the Colored Waif's Home band to his days under bandleader King Oliver's tutelage, Armstrong's soon-to-be-illustrious career develops. The accessible text is filled with noteworthy facts and details. An afterword provides additional information. Bib., glos.
