Trubloff by John Burningham
Trubloff the mouse lives with his family in the village inn but dreams of becoming the greatest balalaika player in the whole country and one night he runs away with a band of gypsies who promise to teach him to play. Trubloff's poor family are overcome with worry but in the end it is Trubloff's gift for music which saves them from an awful fate.
Utterly timeless. . just as fresh and engaging each time I read it. The book bursts with atmosphere, adventure, pace and emotion -- Katie Cleminson * Child Education *
