Houghton Mifflin Reading: Big Book Theme 6 Grade 1 Cleveland Lee Beale's Street Band

When Cleveland Lee says he wants to play trumpet in his sister's marching band, everyone laughs and says he's too young. Then one of the grand old bluesmen of Beale Street show Cleveland how to play music straight from his heart--and all of Memphis takes notice. Vibrant paintings pulse to the beat of the rhythmic text, making this a memorable tribute to the birthplace of the blues. Full color.
