This title in other formats:Manuelo, the Playing Mantisby Don Freeman
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:When Don Freeman died in 1978, he left behind illustrations and a finished manuscript for a story that was close to his heart. Freeman himself was a professional trumpeter and he was working on the story of a creature who loved musicbut couldn't make any himself. Manuelo is a praying mantis who spends summer evenings listening raptly to outdoor concerts. How he longs to join in! But though he tries to make a flute from a cattail, a horn from a trumpet flower, and a harp from twigs, nothing seems to work. But then Manuelo makes a friend who shows him how to create a cello . . . and in doing so opens the door to Manuelo's heart's desire. Synopsis:When beloved author Don Freeman died in 1978, he left behind illustrations and a finished manuscript for a story that was close to his heart. He was working on the story of a creature who loved music--but couldn't make any himself. This is his story. Full color. About the AuthorWritten and illustrated with the gentle poignancy and humor of Don Freeman's best work, Manuelo the Playing Mantis is a story that will take its place on bookshelves beside Dandelion, Beady Bear, and Corduroy.
