Einstein: The Fantastic Journey of a Mouse Through Space and Time (Mouse Adventures)

All of the mouse adventure books from this author are a must-have for any library (kids 4-100). Truly remarkable illustrations, plus the weaving of science, history, and mouse- adventure. This book is perhaps not as exciting as the others, there is one section that has more detail than the younger kids can stick with in a read-aloud. For children as young as 4, I just break the book up into a few pages at a time, and we read it like a chapter book. I need to explain a few things, but the kids can keep up. We review what's happened by looking at prior illustrations each time we start the next few pages. I pre-read the book so I can stop at a "cliff hanger" - what will happen next?? Super fun. There was one section in this book where I previewed and found that I could shorten the explanation for the younger listeners. These are treasured books, they should be experienced by all readers (and listeners) of every age. I wish I could give them 10 stars.

We have read most of not all of this authors work. He is incredibly talented! I also love that this is a picture book for see kids. Brilliant

Time travel story with charming illustrations and scientific facts.

Children's book but easy-to-understand scientific concepts....I bought his other books as well. Beautiful drawings!

Who doesn't like a good mouse adventure? Mickey Mouse. Tom and Jerry. Reepicheep. Ralph S. Mouse. Despereaux. (Okay, I could go on, but I won't.) Author/illustrator Torben Kuhlmann taps into that love of small heroes in his series of adventures featuring mice and famous names from history. <i>Lindbergh</i> had a mouse constructing and flying an airplane. <i>Armstrong</i> had a mouse on the moon. <i>Edison</i> showed two mice exploring the depths of the sea in search of a lost treasure. But as if that were not enough, now a mouse will take on time travel!Of course, the mouse in question is motivated by the desire to attend a cheese festival, but that is perfectly understandable. Young readers will love the scenes of the mouse resetting the time on wristwatches, alarm clocks, and even DVD players in an effort to go back to the day of the big event. When he does find a way to travel (in a manner Jules Verne would approve), things go a bit haywire and the mouse protagonist takes up residence in the attic of the patent office where young Albert Einstein works. Can these two original thinkers help each other out? Will our hero ever make it to the cheese festival and his own century?As in all Kuhlmann's books, the artwork and attention to detail are extraordinary. The story idea is original (although I couldn't help imagining the mouse as a rodent version of Marty McFly). Back matter helps readers with information about Albert Einstein, relativity, thought experiments, time travel, and the curvature of space. For readers and library collections who already have the earlier books, this new title must be added to the set. For those who haven't enjoyed these mouse adventures yet, perhaps you have seen Kuhlmann's artwork in <i>Flight for Freedom<?i>? If you enjoyed his work on that true story, give this furry tale a try.

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world. ..."Albert EinsteinWhat a fun an inspiring little book for ages from 8 to 80. This was my first introduction to Torben Kuhlmann's adorable books about famous people in human history told from the perspective of a little mouse. As a reviewer who mainly writes from the perspective of her cat, I loved this tall tail/tale and of course I believe it's more than possible that the little mouse could build a time-travelling machine to attend the big Cheese Festival. The fact that he missed his mark by 80 years, made it even more relatable. Apparently mice aren't very good with time in general, even when they run up and down clocks.Just like a few other well-known heroic mice in literature history, he did not give up on his dream to attend the cheese festival and he visits the patent office in Bern. The very same office where Albert Einstein worked in the early 1900's. From here, I don't want to give away too much of this delightful story, but think "Back to the Future" and a science lesson or two with the main aim to spark a small human's imagination.With beautiful illustrations and a few quirky, but informative quotes, Einstein is a welcome addition to Torben Kuhlmann's series. Now I just need to get my hands on the rest of this series and add it to my bookshelf. Elza promises to leave the little mouse in peace and she says she can't wait for more delightful history and science lessons.

It was such a pleasure to read this book and to enjoy the marvelous artwork. The book may be meant for children but many adults should also enjoy it., as the illustrations are gorgeous and the story is so charming. I can see this as a fun and memorable way to introduce children to science.In this book, a mouse misses a much anticipated annual cheese festival. He lives in a store that repairs and sells clocks, so he decides that he should be able to find a way to turn back time. After many tries, he finally succeeds in building himself a working time machine. He was aided by notes left by Albert Einstein, who had lived in this small town 80 years previously. The mouse also left a helpful note of his own: "Time is relative." Whenever I think of the theory of relativity, I'll think of this mouse.I received a copy of this book from the publisher NorthSouth Books via Netgalley and voluntarily read and reviewed it.

A fantastic story and beautifully illustrated. I liked the story as much as my grandson

I got these book for my son (7) as we already have Amstrong and Eddison. It is as good as the other 2. Apart for the great story and pictures, it introduces sience and techonology to children in a very clever way. Great for older children too.

A beautifully illustrated and written book. Suitable for children 7+ Highly recommended.
