This is a true story. Schmaltzy is real. Children prefer real pets over stuffed animals.
Also, children prefer reading true stories and enjoy "googling" Schmaltzy's website and watching him play his black table top baby grand piano. After watching one of his concerts, children want to practice their music lessons, just like Schmaltzy.
Parents Love This Book Too!
"This book inspired my five kids to read books (watch less TV), write about their own pets, and practice their music lessons. This is a book your kids read over and over again. Schmaltzy has earned his adoring fan club.
This book does more than get kids reading, it gets them interested in writing. This book turns kids into novelists. My eight year old son's manuscript is called "Tiger's Tail." The color-coded new vocabulary words and built-in dictionary are fabulous.

Children read this book over and over again because the 25 stories of Schmaltzy and Falafel's life are entertaining and awe inspiring. This is a true story of a "Feline Prodigy" (Animal Fair Magazine) who is a CEO, a study buddy, a world class piano virtuoso, and a mascot who helps abandoned cats find loving homes.
Schmaltzy teaches children three important life lessons:
1. Always Look Before You Leap! Every chapter starts with has color-coded new vocabulary words. This innovative idea is the reason that this book won the Children's Bookworm Award.
2. There is No Such Thing As Too Much Love: You have to put love into everything that you do. Schmaltzy has a hectic and demanding New York City life as a CEO, study buddy, mascot, and world class piano virtuoso and love is the main ingredient that contributes to Schmaltzy's success.
3. Practice Makes Purrfect: Music is the greatest joy in the world. Schmaltzy practices his piano three times a day to be a virtuoso. Children watch him play his piano and want to practice their music lessons everyday, just like Schmaltzy.
