JD, Seabrook   A Mouse Called Wolf by Dick King-Smith
This story called A Mouse Called Wolf is about a runt in a litter of mice. He was so small so his mom made up for his lack of height with a big name, Wolf Gang Amadeus Mouse. His twelve brothers and sisters picked on him for this. Then they moved out and Wolf was left with his mom. They lived in an old lady's house who loved to play piano. On one of the days wolf came out and sang a tune Mrs. Honeybee played recently. She loved him and gave him and his mother chocolates everyday. Soon they had such a close relationship she would play on the piano and he would sing to the tunes, "la la la la la...". One day Mrs. Honeybee tripped and was taken to the hospital and as soon as she came back they sang and played for hours. Then Wolf composed his own music and they played it together. It was called "Swallow Sonata". No one ever found out about Wolf except Mrs. Honeybee. I would recommend this story to anyone who likes folk tales where animals can talk. So why don't you read it?
