Publisher's Note Louie's new whistle is causing chaos in his neighborhood as he blows it much too loud, so Josette gets a hold of it and shows him, to the delight of all those around, how nicely it can be played.
Industry Reviews "The sprinkling of French vocabulary and the repetition of the whistle sounds make this a perfect read-aloud story--young readers will be whistling for more." Kirkus Reviews (01/01/2002)
"Schaefer delivers a snappy little story, sprinkling Josette's narration with French words that add to her dry and slightly Gallic delivery." Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Janice M. Del Negro (02/01/2002)
