About A Trip To The Top Of The Volcano With Mouse: TOON
Product Description Join Mouse and a young explorer as they prepare to climb Mount Etna. Help them list what they’ll need: “walking sticks,” “mountain boots,” “sunglasses…” “Can I have pepperoni?” asks Mouse. From sea to snow, young readers will giggle with delight as they experience the magical world drawn by Frank Viva. Over and over again, the bestselling author of Young Frank, Architect will make them relive the unforgettable journey he took to the top of one of the world’s most active volcanoes. From School Library Journal PreS-Gr 2-Viva's companion to 2012's A Trip to the Bottom of the World with Mouse takes readers to the very top of the world: an active volcano. Mouse and his human companion travel by plane to Italy's Mount Etna. Hungry Mouse badgers his friend for pizza as he learns how cold it will be to hike up the volcano. At the bottom of Mount Etna, the two discuss the trees growing in the soil. "Olives! Grapes! Oranges! Almonds!" shrieks Mouse. Large, predictive text matches the illustrations well, and a clever cutaway of Mount Etna educates children about volcanoes. Mouse sweetly points out the volcano's similarities to pizza, which will elicit a giggle or two from readers. The palette is beautifully simple; relying on black, cream, red, orange, gray, blue, and brown, Viva depicts a stunning and believable world. VERDICT This latest outing with Mouse is an exemplary choice for emergent readers, graphic novel lovers, and curious kids eager to learn about volcanoes (and pizza).-Amy M. Laughlin, Ferguson Library, Stamford, CT Review Praise for Frank Viva's A Trip to the Bottom of the World with Mouse 2012 Cybils Award Winner Apartment Therapy’s Best Children’s Books of 2012 "Young children will identify with the protagonist as he pines first for the destination and then for home, never quite satisfied with what’s on hand, a problem that Viva’s readers will not share.” - Booklist “They started tossing out terms like ‘retro-aesthetic’ and ‘full bleed pages’ but all I know is it looks purdy.” - Publishers Weekly “Clear, cool, and beautiful, it belongs on your bookshelf even if you’re considerably older than four.” - Paste Magazine
