The piano recital / Akiko Miyakoshi.

Miyakoshi, Akiko, 1982- (author,, illustrator.). Kids Can Press, (translator.).

Summary:

"It's the day of Momo's very first piano recital, and she is terribly nervous. Today is the day of a little mouseling's very first performance, too, and she's just as nervous as Momo. The mouseling invites Mom to watch her performance. Momo follows the mouseling through a small door backstage, where she's met with an amazing sight: an elaborate miniature theatre, and an audience of finely dressed mice! When the Grand Mouse-ter takes the stage, a hush falls over the crowd and a magical show unfolds - a circus, a magic act, acrobats! Momo is delighted. And when it's the mouseling's turn to take the stage, Momo soothes her little friend's nerves - her own now long forgotten - and accompanies her on piano. As Momo finishes her piece and gives a bow, she's surprised to see that her audience isn't furry and miniature, but human! And they're all clapping - for her! A proud Momo is quite sure she can hear mouse paw-clapping, too..."-- Provided by publisher.

Summary

The Piano Recital


As Momo nervously waits for her first piano recital, she tells herself, 'I'll be okay... I'll be okay...' Then she hears a voice nearby, also saying, 'I'll be okay... I'll be okay...' It's a mouseling, who's nervous about her first performance, too. The mouseling invites Momo through a small door backstage, where Momo is amazed to find a miniature theatre filled with an audience of finely dressed mice! When it's the mouseling's turn, Momo agrees to accompany her on piano. The mouse audience is so appreciative! But then, as she rises to take her bow, Momo is surprised to discover - it isn't a mouse audience at all!
