Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pet of the Met (Picture Puffins) (Paperback)
I was so disappointed when I went to the Metropolitan Opera Shop at Lincoln Center in NYC to find that Pet of the Met was out of print. It's a wonderful story to introduce children to the world of opera. I read it to my children and now that I have grandchildren I wanted a copy for them. I was happy to find it on Amazon even though I had to pay a premium to get it second hand. This book is worth it.
The book should be re-released for the next generation of future opera lovers.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Mouse's View of Opera, June 26, 2000
This review is from: Pet of the Met (Picture Puffins) (Paperback)
"Pet of the Met" is an enchanting story about a mouse and his family who live and work in the Metropolitan Opera House. The adventures of Maestro Petrini as he works as a page turner, and his subsequent run-in with Mefisto the cat, offer children an easy and interesting entrance to the world of opera, and to the story of "The Magic Flute". The illustrations are lively and colorful and the view of the "teeny-weeny" Petrinis dressed as characters from the Magic Flute never fails to raise giggles when I read this book to first-grade students.

5.0 out of 5 stars Opera Lovers of Children, January 15, 2009

This review is from: Pet of the Met (Hardcover)
Don Freeman does it again. Lovely book. Great way to illustrate how one can be carried away by music. Music creates a lasting friendship between cat and mouse.
