📖 Listen to My Trumpet

Piggie has a trumpet that she wants to play in front of Gerald. When Gerald sits down and starts to listen, odd noises come out, like Sp-ack, Qu-ark, and Blonk! Gerald tries to hide his concern and lack of enthusiasm that Piggie is not making music, and that she sounds like his aunt with a cold. However, Piggie asks Gerald straight up how she did, but Gerald hesitates to find a kind way to respond. He eventually spills out his opinion, "That was not music." With a positive friend like Piggie, though, she understands him and shocks him when she states that she was trying to sound like an elephant. Gerald, who jumped in surprise, agreed to teach Piggie about her accent. Reason for Recommendation: This book will for sure make readers laugh with a funny plot and onomatopoeias for trumpet sounds.

皮吉有一个小号,她想在杰拉德面前演奏。当杰拉德坐下来开始欣赏时,皮吉吹出来各种奇怪的声音:咔咔咔、嚓嚓嚓和梆梆梆!杰拉德对皮吉的音乐的不太感兴趣,他觉得皮吉的消耗声听起来像他阿姨感冒的时候。可是,皮吉直截了当地问杰拉德觉得她吹得怎么样。杰拉德犹豫着要不要找一种委婉的方式来回答他的朋友,最终说出了自己的想法,"我觉得那不太像那音乐。"然而,没想到的是皮吉一点儿没生气,她高兴地告诉杰拉德她正是在模仿大象的声音。杰拉德惊喜地跳了起来,并同意教皮吉的各种大象的声音。 推荐理由:这本书让情节有趣。有关小号声的拟声词会让读者开怀大笑。
