Nice story for music lovers and cat lovers.
The combination of the font and difficult to pronounce words will make it a little difficult for parents to read aloud and very difficult for children to read themselves. The illustrations capture the period but the human faces are bit creepy. Wish the cat wasn't given away. Will leave some children feeling sad and worried for poor Pulcinella.

Scarlatti's Cat is a cute children's story about an Italian music composer, Scarlatti, and his beautiful and smart cat, Pulcinella, and how his cat composed a sonata. Man, I wish my Wedgie was talented like that - does this mean his scratching on my furniture is really a display of artistry?
This book is beautifully drawn, and I especially love the drawings of Pulcinella, who reminds me a lot of my beloved Zorro. There's a great drawing of Scarlatti holding Pulcinella, with Handel's dog nearby.
The book also teaches young readers to follow their hearts, their passions and their dreams. Though being a proud and crazy cat lady, I was very sad to read the ending.
