Horace and Morris Join the Chorus (but what about Dolores?)

This heartwarming story follows three best friends, Horace, Morris, and Dolores, as they navigate the challenges of friendship and individuality. When Horace and Morris get into the school chorus but Dolores, with her truly unique voice, does not, Dolores experiences a range of emotions, from hurt and anger to loneliness. The book gently explores themes of exclusion, self-acceptance, and creative problem-solving as Dolores finds an unexpected way to contribute to the performance. It's a wonderful read-aloud for discussing feelings of being different and the importance of embracing one's unique talents.

Best friends Horace, Morris, and Dolores do everything together. So when they try out for the chorus and Dolores (who sings notes no one has ever heard before) doesn't get in, she feels hurt and angry and -- not like Dolores at all -- sorry for herself. But mostly she feels lonely, with her friends too busy rehearsing to have time to share adventures with her. So Dolores does what she does best and takes matters into her own hands. But can she prove to Moustro Provolone that there's a place for every kind of voice in the chorus?
