Opera Lovers of Children

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.
A Mouse's View of Opera
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
"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.
