I still have my childhood copy of this book; ironically, I have grown up to become a singer, but it was the Listening Cat that captivated me as a girl. Wonderful and simple recounting of the early life of Jenny Lind, the Swedish Nightingale; excellent exposure to biographical information in an entertaining format.

I found this book in my school library in third grade. I used to sign it out every week. I liked it so much that the librarian gave it to me. It is a wonderful story about a very famous singer. It is great for younger children (3rd grade and up) and even older ones. I still read and enjoy it today. I would definetly recommened it, especially if yoiu enjoy singing.

I read this book when I was little and loved it. It is a heart-warming tale of a young girl who loves her little cat and loves to sing to it. One day while singing to her cat she is heard and offered lessons. It is actually a true story of Jenny Lind. A great book!
