My mom found this gem in a box of my old stuff a few months ago and gave it to me last time I saw her. Feeling nostalgic, I re-read it today and I remember loving it when I was learning how to read. It also features cats and music which are/were two of my favorite things growing up. Makes me wonder how much of that was influenced by this book.
