內容簡介:
While nibbling at a huge hunk of parmesan cheese, Geraldine
uncovers a cheese statue of a mouse playing what seems to be a
flute but on closer inspection is really its tail. That night
Geraldine is woken by silver and gold sounds. “This must be music!”
she says. And every night the cheese mouse fills Geraldine’s
hideaway with beautiful music. Then one day her hungry mice friends
ask her to share her cheese with them. Geraldine’s new love of
music infuses her with a magic of her own and provides a satisfying
conclusion to this delightful tale.
