1980, Four Winds
(4) K-3 While searching his new neighborhood for a father figure, Louie picks up a music box that falls off a truck. The driver accuses him of stealing, but when Louie brings him to his mother, the man softens. Friendship, and eventually marriage, develops between the two. Narratively, this isn't one of Keats's better efforts, but the illustrations, which mix painting and collage, bring the busy neighborhood to vivid life.
