A review by calistareads
Apt. 3 by Ezra Jack Keats
3.0
This story is a little darker and a tad scary. It’s a rainy day and Sam and his brother are in their apartment when they hear a harmonica playing. It sounds sad and lonely and they decide to find who it is playing. They talk down their hallways and stairways and listen outside each door for a harmonica. The building has a feel to it that is like a building in a horror movie. It is a little eerie. They hear arguing, crunching, snoring, and smell cooking along the way. Finally, they notice a jug of milk outside Apt 3 disappeared and a voice tells them to come inside. The man living there is blind and he tells them a lot about themselves just from what he can overhear. He also plays the harmonica for them. Sam asks if they can go for a walk tomorrow.
The colors are amazing, they are muted with swirls of dark colors. There is nothing bright here or sunny. The rainy day permeates everything. It totally left me with a sad, morose feeling and it was sort of scary.
The nephew kept asking why everything looked so scary. When they went in the man’s Apartment at the end, Nephew was telling him not to do that. His fist were rolled up and he was hanging on me. He thought this book was scary. After it was over, he thought that was cool. He wanted to read it again. He gave this 4 stars.
