Dieses Buch ist einfach wunderschön illustriert und sowohl für Jung, als auch für (und vielleicht sogar noch ein wenig mehr) Alt ❤️ Die Bilder sind Kunstwerke für sich und haben einen ganz eigenen Charme. Die Farbgebung der Bilder und die „rustikalere“ Aufmachung des Buches sind etwas ganz besonderes und wirken dadurch überhaupt nicht typisch „kindlich“. Wenn man sich einzelne Bilder in der Wohnung aufhängen würde, würde niemand darauf kommen, dass es sich dabei um Zeichnungen für eine jüngere Zielgruppe handeln würde. Die Geschichte ist auch sehr interessant und ich mag die Thematik der Erfindungen und Forscher, welche hier auf jeder Seite zu finden ist. Auf jeden Fall werde ich noch die anderen Bücher des Autors lesen!

We are reading these in reverse order, which has actually added a fun twist!

I'm pretty sure I will never be disappointed by a Torben Kuhlmann book, he is such a great painter and writer and even if his stories follow more or less the same pattern every time, they are such a pleasure for the eyes that the story matters till a certain point.
Sono abbastanza sicura che difficilmente potrei non apprezzare uno dei libri di Torben Kuhlmann perché lui é un grande disegnatore e anche se le sue storie seguono spesso la stessa trama, sono un piacere per gli occhi tanto da far scivolare tutto il resto in secondo piano.
THANKS NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!

Poikkeuksellisen komea kuvitus tässä kirjassa! Hiirulaisten seikkailua ihmiselämän rinnalla on hauska seurata ja samalla kirja opettaa jotain ihmis(hiiri?)kunnan teknisestä kehityksestä.

Torben Kuhlmann is back with another intricately-illustrated mouse adventure (following "Lindbergh" and "Armstrong"), this time telling the story of the invention of the lightbulb -- though not as you'd expect. This extra-long picture book is a large format, printed on thick paper. Block out some time to pore over the double-page spreads which advance a story that includes research, experimentation, and perseverance (don't let being small stop you from aiming high!). The illustrations are rich with mechanical detail and gorgeous shifts in lighting. Backmatter includes Historical Facts and a short bio of Thomas Edison.

I adored it.
A little mouse, Pete, wants to find his ancestor's treasure. The problem is that all the little mouse knows is that his ancestor sailed across the Atlantic and was never heard from again. He asks Professor Mouse to help him and together they find the ship that the mouse sailed on. Unfortunately the boat sank in the middle of the ocean, presumably with the treasure on board. Just like so many other mice, the Professor and Pete are very clever. It requires a lot of experimentation, research and a trip to the museum, but they build a mouse submarine that allows them to get to the bottom of the ocean and retrieve the treasure. They also discover what happened to Pete's ancestor - don't worry, he had a happy ending. He was rescued from the ship, just like all the human passengers.
The text can be a bit long, depending on the child, but the illustrations and plot make up for it. It's a cute story and the detailed watercolor and ink illustrations are just gorgeous.

Lumoava, vanhojen saturomaanien henkeä. Huumoria sopivasti kuvissa. Ihana yllätys!

The illustrations in this book are simply stunning. There is also a lot of science and facts involved while Pete works to build mouse-sized diving bell and later a submarine, in the search of his ancestor's sunken treasure. This is a very long book with a lot of words, so it would be great to read aloud to an older child (or one with a lot of patience). It's also divided into chapters of just a few pages each, so maybe reading a chapter at a time would work well for a child who can't sit still long enough to make it through the whole book.
