Wonderful story and beautiful illustrations! My young children loved it:)

My five-year-old son picked this book out from the library today.

In our house, we love music and cats, so I liked the idea of this book. In fact, I liked the idea of this book far more than I liked the book. The story seemed to wander a bit. Maybe it went under the house with Mrs. Beethoven.

The illustrations were OK, but not especially appealing.

Everything is better with a cat, including music.

What a cute story of a stray cat and a music teacher! Enjoyed the quirky and colorful illustrations. Cute story, especially appealing for animal lovers.

My kids laughed out loud at the end of this book. If you like cats or music, this is for you.
