This short, charming book can be enjoyed by adults and children alike, and will inspire a love of words and poetry in youngsters. Muffin is a beautiful cat who is determined to play the classical guitar, just like his owner, Liona. How Muffin secretly learns to play, and then seize the right moment to make his concert dream come true, teaches kids that nothing in life comes without tremendous focus and effort.
The audiobook includes eleven simple guitar pieces played, of course, by Muffin.
