Brief summary-Little Rat wants to
learn how to play music, but she hates practicing on her violin. She also doesn’t
like that her violin squawks a lot. But
her new teacher is very patient and asks Little Rat to play with one of the
more experienced students in a duet.
Little Rat has enough support to learn how to make beautiful music.
How would you use the book with
students-I would use this book to show young readers that with persistence,
dedication and practice, you can achieve any goal.
