Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
Wolfgang Amadeus Mouse is the runt of the litter; that is why his mother felt obliged to choose such an imposing name for him. "Wolf" is secretly pleased when his siblings tease him with the shortened version of his name. The moniker turns out to be prophetic, as Wolf discovers that he is able to sing and recall tunes played by the woman who owns the piano near his mousehole. Lured by chocolate and new songs, Wolf befriends the woman, proving that music is indeed the universal language. A sweet tale from the author of Babe, this story makes a good nighttime read-aloud (in installments) or early chapter book.
From The Critics
K-Gr 3--Another King-Smith critter to love. Wolf is such a minuscule mouse that his mother decides to give him a big name. A slightly chewed piece of sheet music yields "Wolfgang Amadeus Mo"--hence W. A. Mouse or Wolf for short. The family mouse hole is just behind the leg of a grand piano played twice a day by an elderly woman. Wolf loves the music and, to the delight of Mrs. Honeybee and the bemusement of his mother, he becomes the first singing mouse. His special talent even enables him to summon help when Mrs. Honeybee falls and can't get up. The three central characters are nicely crafted in this sweet story. Budding young musicians will relate to Wolf's struggles to develop his talent and share it with his not-so-musical mother. Those who haven't discovered their talents will enjoy this small mouse as they have the other creatures King-Smith so lovingly creates. Goodell's black-and-white illustrations, done in an engaging style similar to the work of Garth Williams, have all the warmth of the text. An appealing beginning-chapter book for young readers ready for a bit of substance, and a surefire read-aloud.--Jody McCoy, Lakehill Preparatory School, Dallas, TX

    Wolf herd a groan so he went upstairs. He saw Miss Honeybee was blinded and had fell over a stool. Miss Honeybee told Wolf to call 911, but somehow Wolf knew that she was in troble. Wolf decided to go to the window so he could sing so people could help her. He sang as loud as he could a police man stoped.The piloce man knocked on the door and asked Miss Honeybee if she was ok. She said she was hurt. So the police man called the amblieons. If you want to hear the rest of the story buy it or look at it at Barnes & Noble. This book rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    A great book

    My favorite character in this book was wolf, because he kept on believing he could do anything and my favorite animal is a wolf. I liked the part of the book when Wolf one a piano race for the first time.I also liked the part when Wolf found a peace of cheese and it was the cat¿s food.

    My 7 yr. old loved this book!

    My child was quite taken with this book because she enjoys animals. Music Teachers would appreciate this book also. The story involves a music teacher who likes to sing and play the piano, and visit with a mouse.
