MAGDA'S BLOG: A Mouse Called Wolf, by Dick King-Smith (illustrated by Jon Goodell)



We read this book aloud to Magda (she’s two-and-a-half), finishing around June 2, 2012. I asked Magda questions about it on June 5, 2012. Here’s what she had to say:

          Wolfgang Amadeus!

Haha. No, that’s the character in the book. Who’s the author of the book?

 What is so special about the mouse called Wolf?
I don’t know.

What is he doing on the cover?
He’s singing!

Can all mice sing?
Uh, I don’t know. Can they?

I don’t think so. What kinds of songs does Wolf sing?
Wolfgang Amadeus.

Yes, Wolfgang Amadeus. Do you remember any of the songs?
Uh, Three Blind Mice and another one, I can’t remember.

Where does Wolf live?
In his house.

Who else lives there?
Her mom and...who else?

Is there a person?
Oh, yes, Mrs. Honeybee!

Wolf is sort of her pet mouse. Would you like a pet mouse?
Uh...do pet mouse...? Uh, yes! I’m going to carry the pet mouse and then I can handle a dog!
