What a cute book! It was a very sweet and simple story. However, some of the vocabulary and terms were more than my 3rd graders knew, which is always good and leads to learning!

This is a lovely chapter book for early readers. The story is about a small mouse who is named after Mozart but is dubbed "Wolf" for short. And the reader discovers that Wolf may have more in common with his namesake than would be expected of a mouse. The friendship between Wold and his human pianist is sweet.

Wolf was the youngest of the children, and the smallest. Therefore, he needed the most important-sounding name his mother could come up with. Looking at a torn piece of paper from the Lady's piano, he was named Wolfgang Amadeus Mo(use). The large, ungangly name made him an even bigger target for teasing, and soon the name was shortened, much to his pleasure, to Wolf. He soon discovered that he was the first mouse ever to have a talent for singing. Not only that, but Wolf became fast friends with the Lady of the House, even getting help for her when old age worked against her.

Enjoyable story! My kids really got a kick out of the mouse named Wolf, and his talent for singing. It was a nice book, and included a nice interspersing of lovely illustrations.

My little brother is reading this book. It's darling! As a musician, I really appreciated the musical aspect, and loved the story of friendship between the lady, a retired concert pianist, and the singing mouse Wolf.

A singing mouse named Wolfgang Amadeus Mouse. A quirky, fun read. I also appreciate the pianist Mrs. Honeybee. They form a lovely relationship of understanding and helping each other out. A feel good tale. If you like music, you should give this book a try.
