Another enjoyable book by James Patterson & Chris Grabenstein. Enjoyed the characters, plot, and pacing. We definitely be getting this series for my grandkids.

Note: I received a DRC from NetGalley in exchange for a review.
“A tiny talking mouse sets off on a giant adventure to rescue his friend in this fun, heartwarming illustrated adventure, perfect for fans of Stuart Little and The Mouse and the Motorcycle.
Talking mouse Isaiah is free from the experiments that left him with blue fur and a big voice, and living a picture-perfect life with his human friend, Hailey. But the evil scientists—and their evil talking cats—are hot on Isaiah’s trail. When they mouse-nap his friend Mikayla, it's up to Isaiah and Hailey to rescue her.
Their search takes them on a cross-country adventure, where they face foes and make unexpected friends. If they can find Mikayla, they might even find a way to free Isaiah's siblings and create a happy ending for all of the lab mice.
This endearing and whimsical tail tale from bestselling author James Patterson is a celebration of bravery and determination in all shapes and sizes.”
The first “Word of Mouse” book was released almost a decade ago, and this sequel was really great. This book was just as charming as the first, and the story was very fun and engaging. The illustrations were also gorgeous, with each of them having lots of details. This book was a spiritual successor to the first book, and I would recommend this book to kids from the ages of 8 to 12. I really enjoyed reading this book.

The Great Mouse Escape is an adventurous and heartwarming follow-up to Word of Mouse (which I have not read) by James Patterson and Chris Grabenstein. I had the pleasure of reading this with my son, who is alm0ost seven. He's a little younger than the intended age group, but he still truly enjoyed the story.
One of the most capitvating aspects of the book for him (and for me!) was the personification of the animal characters. Isaiah, the courageous blue mouse with a big personality, is easy to root for, and his adventures kept us both turning the pages. The idea of talking animals with human-like emotions and motivations made the story feel extra engaging, and I could tell that my son really connected with the characters in a way that made the story feel real to him.
The illustrations by Jennifer L. Meyer also played a big part in our enjoyment. The whimsical, expressive images perfectly captured the action and humor of the book, bringing the world of talking mice to life in a way that made it both exciting and accessbile for younger readers.
While my son may have been a bit young for some of the more complex themes, the overall adventure, humor, and charm of The Great Mouse Escape made it fun, memorable read. I think this book would be perfect for kids who are ready for a thrilling adventure, and it's definitely a great choice for shared reading.
I'd recommend this to parents and children who enjoy animal stories with heart.
