An explorer with his friend Mouse travel down to Antarctica. Mouse wants to go home, but our adventurer has so much to see and show his friend.
The text is simple and lays out the characteristics of two adventuring friends - optimistic and pessimistic. An excellent introduction to graphic novels for young readers as well.

Would be good for younger readers b/c of high contrast colors, and repetition in words and narrative structure. Also it is funny and cute!

This was another great introduction to comic book format for my preschool-aged boys. It took multiple re-readings for them to understand that this was the story of a journey to Antarctica and the experiences he (and mouse) have along the way. Mouse's repetition of "are we there yet?" was funny for them, and I am a huge fan of the art.

Mouse is on a trip with a young fellow (the author?) to Antarctica. He keeps asking when they'll be able to go home, but the fellow keeps showing him new things to see in the natural world. Simple language and a crisp retro feel in the illustrations - like it.

Join Mouse and his explorer friend as they journey to Antarctica where they will meet a few animal friends and take a warm water swim. This is a simple story with enough repetitive language for the earliest readers, yet plenty of new words are introduced as well. The illustrations are engaging without being overwhelming for young readers.

A beginning graphic novel. Mouse and his friend the boy are on a trip to the Antarctic. Mouse continually asks if they can go home, but boy says "not yet" because they might see.... Turn the page as mouse guesses 4 things they might see, 4 things they feel as small as, 4 things a whale does. This would be a great conversation starter between a parent and child; each could guess what mouse might answer before the page is turned.

Adorable and appropriate as a picture book, or first graphic novel for a beginning reader.

A very simple graphic novel but it made me giggle. Could work nicely in a small storytime as the kids will enjoy Mouse always asking if it is time to go home.

This is so far my favorite TOON book. I love the art in this. Then end papers and double page spreads are incredible. The text is clever too. So much love.

Love these beginning reader graphic novels. Lots of fun based on a "real" story and lots of repetition that works out really well.
