Plot Summary
The story follows Wolfgang Amadeus Mouse—or Wolf for short—who lives with his large family behind the skirting board of a grand piano in a human house. Named after the famous composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, little Wolf discovers that he has a truly special gift: he can sing!
One day, Wolf begins to sing along with music played on the piano by Mrs. Honeybee, the kind old lady who owns the house. His beautiful, tiny voice stuns her—and the two form a secret and touching friendship.
But when Mrs. Honeybee has an accident and can’t call for help, it’s up to Wolf and his incredible talent to save the day.
