From the publisher

Here is the story of a little mouse with a big talent! As the runt of hisfamily, Wolfgang Amadeus Mouse (“Wolf, “ for short) has a big name to make upfor his small size. But the name fits: While his siblings like to race eachother across the piano keys, he would rather listen to Mrs. Honeybee, the ladyof the house, play music on them. Then one day, in a moment of musical passion, Wolf throws his head back–and to his total surprise, out of his mouth comes abeautiful voice! Soon he’s singing everything from “Three Blind Mice” to Chopinto the Beatles, all to Mrs. Honeybee’s accompaniment. But Wolf’s talents don’tend there–his voice really “is” music to Mrs. Honeybee’s ears when heuses it to rescue her after she takes a spill. Dick King-Smith, beloved authorof “Babe: The Gallant Pig,” is back with a warm, funny, fast-paced storyabout an unusual musical friendship that is perfect for newly independentreaders.
