Query: OK for kids 10 and up!

I purchased this book to prepare my 5 year old grandson for the play, The Great American Mousical, which we would soon be seeing. While the story line is cute, I found the language somewhat stilted,dated, and cliched. I would have preferred a few more drawings to break up the dialogue. My son ended up paraphrasing many of the pages as he read to my grandson who was a bit confused by all the characters. (My grandson loves books and is very familiar with chapter books. He enjoys discussing characters's motives.) He enjoys books on CD, but I doubt even an audio version of this story would be enjoyable for someone his age.
