I would love to give this book a 5-star review for all the lovely illustrations it has, but the story is quite boring. A nice, quick read with kids anyway.

Edison: The Mystery of the Missing Mouse Treasure
This is a beautifully illustrated book that will engage readers who like cute mice, underwater adventures or are interested in learning about inventors. It is well done and a quick read, perfect for elementary and middle school readers. I borrowed this book from the public library.

Such a beautiful book, that includes a lot of content without being heavy handed about it. I gasped at the first spread in the book shop; it was just so lovely. Then I laughed out loud with the bathtub scene and the rubber duck. I can definitely see why this was awarded a Batchelder honor, and will check out some of Kuhlmann's other books.

Söpö ja kauniisti kuvitettu tarina aarteenmetsästykseen merenpohjalle lähtevistä hiiristä. Uppoaisi varmasti tekniikasta ja historiasta kiinnostuneelle lapselle.

I read this as an e-ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thanks, NetGalley!
There are so many things to love about this book. To start off, I loved how the story was told by alternating the text and the illustrations. It was genius to begin each chapter with words, then move to the next part of plot with a few illustrations, all without disturbing the flow of the journey between the two mice. Torben Kuhlmann’s works of art throughout this book are not just beautiful, but mesmerizing. I found myself staring in awe at each piece of art and blueprint, trying to catch every detail as the mice made their way to the bottom of the sea in search for a priceless family treasure.
The story itself was captivating as well. Within the first few pages, I immediately was hooked and wanted to know what happened next. The science involved in inventing the submarine, the critical thinking, and the trial and error the two mice endured along the way are great lessons to show young readers that not all projects are perfect in the beginning, but if persevered will have great outcomes.

Wahnsinn wie sehr es Herr Kuhlmann schafft mich mit jedem Buch mehr zu begeistern, obwohl das doch garnicht mehr möglich zu sein schien.

This is an adorable book, apparently part of a series of books about famous mice.
The first book was about a mouse that flew, called Lindberg–The Tale of the flying Mouse. The second book was about the first mouse on the moon (who went along with the American astronauts?). This third book is about the professor, who we find out, was the mouse that walked on the moon. But this is not his story, but the young mouse, Pete, who is trying to find a treasure of his ancestor, which is on the ocean floor.
Just look at these detailed illustrations. With the bookstore, you can almost smell the must of old used books. Look at the detail in the book covers. These look like cars, in the background and in the scene of the repair shop, of the 1960s, although the boy, in the book shop looks straight out of the 1940s. I don't think I ever saw any kids dressing like that when I was growing up.
And yes, I know this is a fantasy, but I can't wrap my head around when it is supposed to be happening. Did mice land on the moon before humans? Did they do so in the 1950s? Is this story happening in the 1960s?
But, if you can get around all that, this is a sweet story of perseverance, while Pete and the Professor find a way to get to the ship wreck under the sea, and solve the mystery.
There is even a bit at the end of the book about who else may have invented the lightbulb first.
