This is the paperback debut of one of Leo Lionni's classic mice fables about friendship, sharing, and the magic of music. First published in 1979, it has not been available in a hardcover trade or library edition since about 1990 with net sales of 30,000 copies and has never been published in paperback. Horn Book Magazine called it ""A worthy successor to Frederick"".

Lionni Dragonfly editions have had large sales increases during the past two years and this title will be the first addition to the notable list of our Lionni paperback editions in 10 years with An Extraordinary Egg.

The cheerful celebration of art, music, and cheese from beloved four-time Caldecott Honor-winner Leo Lionni.

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.
