I'm pretty sure I will never be disappointed by a Torben Kuhlmann book, he is such a great painter and writer and even if his stories follow more or less the same pattern every time, they are such a pleasure for the eyes that the story matters till a certain point.

Sono abbastanza sicura che difficilmente potrei non apprezzare uno dei libri di Torben Kuhlmann perché lui é un grande disegnatore e anche se le sue storie seguono spesso la stessa trama, sono un piacere per gli occhi tanto da far scivolare tutto il resto in secondo piano.

THANKS NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!

I can not say enough wonderful things about the pictures in this book. They are beautiful and each page is a little work of art. The story was a bit longer than expected but very cute and fun. Pete the mouse is adorable and this is a fun adventure with amazing illustrations.

I thought this would be another elementary children's book that I'd have to really work at getting my children to enjoy. Boy, was I wrong.

I had heard of Kuhlmann's talent before but was unfamiliar with his work. Going into Edison I immediately knew this was not just another children's book. Kuhlmann's Edison not only had a gripping story centered around cute and friendly mice but the illustrations were wondrous to behold.

My children just loved Pete and his adventure to discover the history behind his ancestor's treasure. Kuhlmann cleverly imparts science into all the action so that children can be educated in a subtle way about research, experiments and strategy without being weighted down by technical jargon.

And have we talked about the illustrations? I mean, we touched on it, but WOW, those illustrations. The dedication it takes to make such detailed and vivid artwork is what sets Kuhlmann's work above the rest. My children wouldn't let me turn the page until they had devoured every detail on the page.

This is a children's book worth investing in.
