themagicalinbetween's review against another edition
4.0
Henry Cole's illustrations are always beautiful. And I found this book he both authored and illustrated. It is told from the perspective of a mouse. It has a bit of a Beatrix Potter mixed with the Diary of an Edwardian Lady in the details but in a story form. Like the first book ("A Nest for Celeste"), I love that this story includes a historical character, this time it's Abraham Lincoln. A charming story about friendship and perseverance.

RATING: 4 STARS

(Review Not on Blog)
Please note that this the second book in the series (not sure if it will be a series or if this is just a sequel). Celeste, the mouse, continues her journey around America in the pockets of young boys who will one day be famous. In this book, she meets young Abe Lincoln along with a mouse family that she finds herself apart of and maybe found her home. I love the sweet story, mixed with real history, and the pencil sketches. A great book for any home library and bedtime.

I received this through Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
Young mouse Celeste gets unexpectedly taken from her home and finds herself going north on the Mississippi in a river boat. When the steamboat wrecks, Celeste must find a way to survive. She makes new friends and further explores the world.
This a quick sweet novel complete with beautiful illustrations and adventures.
