Review to be posted on all sources mentioned in my profile closer to the release date. 

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review. 

Imagine my delight when I found out that this author/illustrator made more books featuring mice. I already read Lindbergh: The Tale of a Flying Mouse 2 years prior, loved that one to bits. I was very much excited to start this one. Featuring a new mouse, new adventures, new friendship, new mysteries, new inventions.

This time the adventure is about a little mouse who wants to know more about his ancestor who went to America. He gets help from an old professor. At first the old mouse doesn't want to help him, but then he does as he sees that our little mouse isn't giving up. I loved seeing them research, build, invent, craft, and plan. These two are tiny but they have big dreams, big plans, and nothing is going to stop them.

We see them try out diving bubbles, making something that would do the same but also allows for resurfacing again, then try out something else again, and then the journey really starts. I was curious what the treasure would be, what could be in that chest that is so important? Gold? Very old cheese? Something else?

The ending was sweet and beautiful, and it does explain why our tiny little mouse has such a talent for inventing.

Just a shame that the title kind of spoils the ending of the book. :P

The art is just the best part. Yes, the story is wonderful, but it is the art that captures me. 

I definitely need more books like this, I love mice. Even had them when I was teen, and not one or two, but a whole bunch. So adorable! 

All in all, if you are looking for a gorgeous, fun, adventurous book featuring brave mice, read this one! And be sure to check out the others as well.

Winning combination of artistry and education.

House explores that would fit in well within the confines of Redwall Abbey were they to time travel after their oceanographic exploits. 

Lovely tale of a young mouse searching beneath the waves for the long list treasures of his ancestors.

This is a wonderful adventure story of a mouse named Pete and his professor, who work to find his ancestor’s lost treasure at sea. They devise plans to make a ship that will allow them to explore underwater. The treasure they find isn’t what they expected. The story ends with a history lesson on what is found. The illustrations are top notch! Beautiful artwork! This book is better suited for older grade school students, due to length, but it will keep their attention.

Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the advanced look into this book in exchange for an honest review.

When at the University of Mice, there is so much to learn and so much to do!  Little Pete enlists the Professor to help him with his own "great quest for knowledge," and cannot do everything on his own.  His inventions, some that work and some that fail, use the scientific approach in addition to mathematic calculations.  

Beautiful illustrations throughout this picture book entice the reader to turn the pages.  

Pages of historical facts and photos reinforce the facts included in the text.

A lovely and interesting tale that manages to juxtapose historical anecdotes in a new and interesting way. The illustrations were so gorgeous I found myself constantly taking photos of them to keep forever.

I received this e-book ARC through Net Galley from North-South Books Inc. in exchange for a truthful review.
Fun and educational adventure story featuring two mice scientists/explorers working to discover a treasure lost by an ancestor of the younger mouse.
I love this type of picture book for children (and adults). The accompanying illustrations by the author Torben Kuhlmann are so beautifully colored and intricately detailed that one could spend lots of time just losing oneself in the details. Absolutely lovely! Definitely not a picture book to breeze through. I would buy this book just to frame the illustrations.
A short history of Thomas A. Edison and other inventors who worked on inventing electric light bulbs completes the learning adventure for the reader.
This book is in the same mouse explorer universe as the author's other two gorgeous picture books, Lindbergh: The Tale of a Flying Mouse and Armstrong: The Adventurous Journey of a Mouse to the Moon.

With an easy to follow plot and vivid illustrations, this is a wonderful chapter book for transitional readers. Fans of Geronimo Stilton will be delighted as they journey through the pages of mouse history in search of a treasure hiding at the bottom of the sea. With factual end notes about Thomas Edison and several of his inventor contemporaries, young readers will learn that true treasurer is found in the acquisition of knowledge.

This book started out as a solid 5 stars. On the basis of the pictures themselves, it really does deserve 5 stars. The illustrations are absolutely amazing, and you could spend a lot of time just studying them and picking out all the details.

The story started off strong. My 7-year-old grandson and I were really enjoying it. Then it just seemed to fall apart. There seemed to be missing parts, and the story jumped in ways that didn't make sense. Some of it could be pieced together from the illustrations, but it wasn't clear that that is what we were supposed to be doing. Other parts seemed to just be missing. Then everything just seemed to come together and wrap up a bit quicker than it should have.

The book definitely has the potential to be great, if only the story comes up to the level of the illustrations. It makes me sad that it doesn't.

This is a real cute books for kids with wonderful illustrations. Thank you NetGalley for the ARC copy of this book. This is my honest opinion.

This was a cute story! The illustrations were beautifully detailed and no doubt will add to the imaginative adventures of its readers. The combination of the words with the pictures formed an interesting history/science story that will entertain and educate young children. It’s a winning combination!

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an arc of this title in exchange for an honest review. 

I must say I'm a fan of Torben Kuhlmanns other titles and this was no exception. 
The illustrations and diagrams are wonderfull. I love the lay out and the tiny details  . 
While the text is fairly long the pictures are so full of wonder there is enoigh to keep the smaller audiences attention.
I love how the science, mechanical and  technical facts and drawings fit In perfectly with the story.
This fully met up to expectations.  
Another lovely book by this author & illustrator that would make a beautiful gift for any child.

Illustrations that take your breath away.  

A wonderful story and another excellent way to travel through history, in the adventures of a mouse. The author's first and second books, Lindbergh: The Tale of a Flying Mouse, and Armstrong: The Adventurous Tale of a Mouse to the Moon, are equally exquisite fun and, together with this third tale, belong on every young (dreamer) reader's shelf.

What a gorgeous book! Amazing illustrations, and a really lovely storyline and characters. Would definitely recommend bringing this book into the classroom, lovely theme and loads of ideas for related activities. Fantastic.

This is a children's storybook but I love how intricate and vividly the illustrations were drawn. Torben Kuhlmann sure does know what he is doing because of how appealing and amazing this book is. Let me tell you, I asked for a reading copy of this because of the cover. I know that we should not judge the book by its cover, but based from my experience on reading this, there are instances that first impression through the book jacket is correct. 

The story of the mice Professor and Pete, and on how they try to invent something just to seek the treasure left by Pete's ancestor will definitely appeal to readers, either young or old. I was really amazed by Kuhlmann's skill in illustrating and storytelling; I might try to check out his two previously published books because I bet that there are also great. 

Edison is the third installment in Kuhlmann's book series that present mice as heroes and adventurous. I was not only entertained by the story of the mice in this book, but I've learned a lot especially on the historical facts and about the one of world's notable scientist, Thomas Edison.

A cute children 's story about a mouse going on an adventure. The idea is good and the picture are stunning. They are used to tell the most exciting hits which leaves the written words a bit too full for what should be an exciting adventure.

This book is absolutely gorgeous!  I love all the colors and beautifully drawn illustrations.  The story about a little mouse's wild adventures is just fantastic.  I would love to add this one to my son's collection.

A nice little book that I read to my grandkids.  Adventure with a mouse finding a treasure.  My grandkids liked the book very much.  It kept there attention and they wanted more adventures when we finished.  Great for our afternoon summer reads.

“Nature has the answer to a lot of our problems.”**

Armed with a letter from a distant ancestor, Pete, a little mouse, seeks the help of a professor at the University of Mice to find a treasure. Through research the pair find that Pete’s ancestor travelled to America on a ship, but the ship sank before it reached American soil. Is the treasure at the bottom of the ocean? If so, there’s no way a mouse can get to the bottom of the ocean, is there? 

But the professor believes “... nothing was impossible for a mouse.” He has stories of mice triumphing in the sky and even in space. If mice can fly and land on the moon, there must be a way to get to the bottom of the ocean. It’s just a matter of figuring out what has to be done. And so the quest begins. At first, Pete must explore on his own, the professor saying he’s too old for such an adventure. But when one of Pete’s experiments goes wrong, the Professor decides to step in and help. After all, he’s been there before.

The spirit of adventure and invention as experienced by a plucky little mouse and his mentor. You’re never too young or too old to take a risk and learn from your mistakes. A great addition to my STEAM collection. The illustrations are lush, detailed and gorgeous, as always. This series could be hanging in an art gallery. Pair this one with Papa’s Mechanical Fish by Candace Fleming.

A fascinating revisit to the story of one of the world's most important inventions, the electric light bulb, told through the eyes of a young mouse and his wise professor. With detailed illustrations and an engaging plot, Torben's book relates history through a hearty adventure to discover a lost treasure. In the end, the greatest "treasure" that Pete the mouse discovers is the truth about his long-lost relative and his role in history. Historical notes at the end of the book set the tale into context. GREAT!

I’ve browsed through the author’s two previous books, I found the art beautiful in style and still very fun and enjoyable. This is my first time actually reading him though and I’m very glad to take the chance to. 
The art is still as beautiful and eye catching as I recall the other two books being. The story is simple enough but it’s fun and exciting and I love how the scientific process is infused into it. The story starts with a young mouse, Pete, coming to an older mouse, referred to as Professor, for help. An ancestor of Pete’s had left a note about a treasure he’d left behind and Pete is hoping the professor can help him out. Between their research and trial and error the two mice find themselves heading to the ocean for a ship wreck and a mighty adventure. The book is a fun read and I can’t recommend it enough. Very fun and cute.
