(4) K-3 Illustrated by Carlyn Beccia. Lachenmeyer takes an anecdote about the inspiration for eighteenth-century Italian composer Domenico Scarlatti's "The Cat's Fugue" and runs with it, imagining self-satisfied kitty Pulcinella as a brilliant composer in her own right--who's just waiting for her chance to play Scarlatti's off-limits harpsichord. The illustrations, which humorously show composer and cat with matching pompadours, are unevenly executed.
