I read "A Mouse Called Wolf" after several students in the elementary school where I am the librarian urged me to read it. They told me I'd love it and they were right!

This is a charming story about a mouse who discovers he can sing, in the process saving his sibling mice from the cat in the house and becoming the companion of elderly Mrs. Honeybee who teaches Wolf new songs on her piano.

It's a simple and appealing story line, but I applaud Dick King-Smith for tackling two subjects not usually found in children's literature. On the one hand he skillfully interweaves musical terms and concepts, and on the other hand he paints a sympathetic portrait of the life of an elderly widow living alone.

This delightful tale should be welcome in the home of musical families or where children need a glimpse into the life of a lonely senior citizen. The adult readers of this story will have many private chuckles over the tunes Mrs. Honeybee chooses to teach her singing mouse: everything from the Beatles' "Help!" to showtunes such as "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'."

A Mouse called Wolf"was a fantastic story!!I could not put this book down.It touched me and how the mouse could sing when everyone else thought he was just another runt!!!It shows people could do anything they want to!!

Wolfgang Amadeus Mouse is a character you instantly fall in love with. Dick King-Smith has created a charming book that children and parents alike will enjoy. If you liked the movie Babe (Dick King-Smith wrote the book of which the movie was based), you'll adore this heart-warming tale.

Dick King-Smith writes another fabulous book. This wonderful story of friendship and heroes is an inspiration to people of all ages. It speaks about friendship, family and aspiring to do your best. As always the characters come to life and become the readers new best friend.

A Mouse Called Wolf comes from the inventive mind of Dick King-Smith who gave us Babe: The Gallant Pig.

After watching his friends race across piano keys, wee Wolfgang Amadeus Mouse throws back his head and sings. Eventually he uses his voice to rescue the lady of the house. Wolf's antics are ably illustrated by Jon Goodell.

I'm a 9-year-old reader who loved the book because it's an educational book to encourage kids to do anything they want. I liked how Wolf didn't give up on singing and that he helped Mrs. Honeybee call for help. Even though he was the smallest mouse, he was the bravest of all. I think every kid should read this book because it encourages you to try new things you want to do and it shows that you can never have too many friends.

A Mouse Called Wolf is a great story! Wolf's real name is Wolfgang Amadeus. Wolf lives with his mother and twelve other children in a mouse hole in the house of Mrs. Honeybee. In the book he learns how to sing, the songs are really cute. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes animal stories and funny stories. In the book Wolf composes a song. The book is easy to read. I really liked reading this book! By: Laura

to read. fun story, came quickly.

This is a wonderful little book. My children loved it and I still enjoy reading this to children when I get a chance. I like to volunteer to read at the schools, libraries, etc in our area.

I thought this book was a funny story.It was funny because a mouse learns to sing and the mouse is friends with a human. I thought the story waas interesting at times because when a human sees a mouse they scream but not Mrs. Honeybee she is nice to the mouse and gives them chocolate. I think you will enjoy this book because it was very interesting. I really enjoyed this book so you should to.
