A Mouse Called Wolf
Nominee:Sasquatch Award -Children/Young Adult (2000)
Here is the story of a little mouse with a big talent! As the runt of his
family, Wolfgang Amadeus Mouse ("Wolf, " for short) has a big name to make up
for his small size. But the name fits: While his siblings like to race each
other across the piano keys, he would rather listen to Mrs. Honeybee, the lady
of 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 a
beautiful voice! Soon he's singing everything from "Three Blind Mice" to Chopin
to the Beatles, all to Mrs. Honeybee's accompaniment. But Wolf's talents don't
end there--his voice really "is" music to Mrs. Honeybee's ears when he
uses it to rescue her after she takes a spill. Dick King-Smith, beloved author
of "Babe: The Gallant Pig," is back with a warm, funny, fast-paced story
about an unusual musical friendship that is perfect for newly independent
readers.
