Gr 2–5—A young mouse named Pete recruits a professor mouse from the University of Mice to help him find the treasure his ancestor mentions in a letter—a treasure lost at sea. Together, the two visit a library and a museum to figure out where the treasure may have been lost. Using the information they gather, the two mice create a mouse-size submarine and set off on their adventure. As in Kuhlmann's previous titles,
Armstrong: The Adventurous Journey of a Mouse to the Moon and
Lindbergh: The Tale of a Flying Mouse, the gorgeous illustrations tell most of the tale. The large trim size allows the art to include plenty of fascinating details that young readers will want to pore over.
VERDICT Kuhlmann has created another science-based adventure full of delightful details. A first purchase for most libraries.
