Sam the library mouse βcontinues his adventures in a new arena as he encourages budding artists and authorsβ (School Library Journal).
Sam the library mouse and his friend Sarah are off on a new adventure. This time they leave the library behind and go to a museum so Sam can make sketches in his explorerβs journal. Sarah isnβt so sure that explorers have the time or the interest to write in journals. But Sam shows her that a journal can contain anything, from a ticket stub to drawings of cool things like dinosaurs and ancient Egyptian mummies. As they explore the museum, they see all kinds of art and unexpectedly make friends with another artist.
βStudents will be inspired to bring along their own journals on museum field trips to record their sketches and write about what they see. Librarians, art teachers, and classroom teachers will find the colorful picture book a stimulating and useful tool for their lessons, so make sure it is always available along with the audio version.β βSchool Library Journal
βChildren will love the different ways Sam and Sarah view the world, helping children ages four and up view art, exploration, museums, and writing with the imagination and verve the characters exhibit in the Library Mouse series.β βNew York Journal of Books
