    Lentil wants to sing or whistle but for some reason he can't. What he does do is learn to play the harmonica. This skill comes in handy when an important persong comes to town.Very cute story and the illustrations are McCloskey's usual wonderful work.

    Lentil can't sing or whistle, so he gets a harmonica and plays all the time. When Colonial Carter gets back to town, Sneep tries to ruin the celebration by making everyone's lips pucker by sucking a lemon in front of them. Lentil's lips can't pucker, so he plays his harmonica and everyone's happy.

    I like the original story, but this narrator leaves out some parts, including the final sentence.

    An enchanting bit of early Americana, in which a small-town boy with a harmonica charms the mayor of the city.

    Oh how nostalgic. Love the names of the boy and the town, Lentil and Alto. Love the series of images as the boy walks through the town practicing his harmonica. Love the ending. Not so sure I like the message that Sneep's attitude needs reforming - maybe he has a point about Carter.

    Great book to teach a child about not giving up. A young boy wanted to be a singer, but he did not have the ability. He decides to get a harmonica instead and practices all the time. At the end, he plays for the Colonel b/c he never gave up!

    All that a child's book should be. Lovely to look at, intriguing to think about. A young boy wants to make music but finds he does not have the voice to sing, nor the talent to whistle. He is introduced to a harmonica. Eventually, he and his harmonica save the day, proving that ..."you never can tell what will happen when you learn to play the harmonica."

    Lentil is a boy who wants to sing, or even whistle...but can't!So he saves his pennies to buy a harmonica, never guessing how he will help the entire town with his music.Cute story, loved the illustrations!
