Lindbergh: The Tale of a Flying Mouse by Torben Kuhlmann tells the story of a brave and curious mouse who wants to travel to America. Unfortunately, when he tries to board a ship, he finds it guarded by a group of vicious cats. Instead, the mouse decided to use in ingenuity to build a flying machine that will carry him to America. Despite several failed flying attempts, more cats, and owls looking for a meal, the little mouse succeeds in his transatlantic journey. He makes a splash as he arrives in New York, inspiring a young boy named Charles Lindbergh.
Kuhlmann's story alternates between sections of text and beautifully detailed panels with a style and quality that are reminiscent of Shaun Tan's The Arrival. Readers will find more to look at each time the book is read. Perfect for sharing with a small group or one-on-one, Lindbergh will inspire readers to go in search of more titles about the history of flight.
Perfect for readers ages 6 and up.
