Hosea Plays on by Kathleen M. Blasi
4.0
Written about Hosea Taylor Jr., this story imagines a day in the life of Hosea doing what he was known for - bringing music into the lives of youngsters that lived near him.
In this story, we see Hosea set out to play his saxophone on the city streets and collect money that he is saving to buy something. We find out it is a trumpet for a teenaged neighbor.
Information about the real Hosea Taylor Jr. is found on the endpage of the book. I wish the publisher had made this information available in backmatter instead of the endpage because I had a library copy and had a difficult time reading around the taped on book jacket.
