In this short chapter book, Little Rat is a girl from a very musical family. She dreams of making music of her own on the violin. She begins lessons with Mrs. Wingbutton, a very stern and short-tempered instructor. Learning to play the violin is not exactly what Little Rat envisioned and she refuses to practice. Mrs. Wingbutton pairs her with an older student and she finally practices. She even plays at a concert with the older student. When Little Rat practices, tries her best and plays from the heart, she is successful and finds her new talent enjoyable. I liked the bright, bold pictures and, especially, the music notes drawn all over the page when Little Rat plays music. It's a great story of trying your best and succeeding.
