"Another winner from King-Smith. Wolf is short for Wolfgang Amadeus Mouse and, true to his name, he loves music. He and his mother live in a house with an elderly woman who was once a concert pianist and plays her grand piano twice a day. He might be a small mouse, but when Wolf finds he has a musical talent of his own, his adventures begin. Logan doesn't know much about music so in addition to being an enjoyable read, this story introduced him to a few musical terms and a couple of composers." — Logan (4 out of 5 stars)

" Aw, I love Wolf! He is such a cute mouse. This was one of my favourites back in the day! It still is one of my favourite childrens books, and I think of it fondly. Ah, memories. "
" One of the first english books I ever read "
" This book is about a mouse named Wolfgang Amadeus Mouse. He was the youngest and smallest of thirteen children. One day wolf threw his head back, opened his mouth and to his total surprise sang with a high clear lovely little voice. He sang like a song bird but more beautifully. "
" This book is good so far.Its about a mouse that wants to sing.He trid to sing and what came out was... a butiful nois.This book is by:Dick King-Smith "
" Classic Dick King-Smith. A perfect parent/child, teacher/class read aloud book for small children. "
" The cutest story! I've read it a few times, and I still like it! "
" A book kind of like the Ugly Duckling except it's about a mouse. Great Story. "
" This book is so sweet! My 1st or 2nd grade teacher gave it to me, and it is just adorable. "
" I've always loved DKS, his books gave me literally weeks and weeks of enjoyment as a child, this one had somehow missed me though! I've just read it with my son though, and we both liked it!! "
" i used to love this. childhood memories "
" This is a book every person should read!! "
" My little brother is reading this book. It's darling! As a musician, I really appreciated the musical aspect, and loved the story of friendship between the lady, a retired concert pianist, and the singing mouse Wolf. "
" This cute little story about a singing mouse was a quick, fun read. It would probably be a nice early chapter book for the readers in my house (and maybe in my music studio too). "
" I liked it because the mouse was cute. I read it in three days. the book was interesting. I really liked it. "
" This is a classic kids story that unfortunately loses some of it's appeal as the reader ages. Along the lines of The Mouse and the Motorcycle as far as difficulty, elementary kids will be most interested in the story but will probably struggle over some of the harder words. "
" I read this to my kids as their school gave it to families to encourage reading together. Maybe I would have liked it more if I hadn't had a two year old squirming in my lap trying to get some of the attention I was giving the other kids. It was just an ok kind of book. "
" It was okay..liked the pictures better though.. "
" A cute, satisfying book! Recommended for 3rd graders! lol "
" this is a really cute book "
" An interesting read for animal lovers . "
" Lovely, gentle read about an unlikely friendship between an aging concert pianist and a mouse with an incredible talent. "
" Cute read, amusing and innocuous. Read alone 7-10. "
" This story is so adorable... I read this in third grade and it was my favorite book, until I read City of Ember:) "
" I liked how Wolf could sing lots of songs and he saved the woman from dying, he sang and the police came. He's a hero. Wolf was creative; he made up his own song. "
