Mouse and Mole, friends who could be buddies with Frog and Toad, are back in this four-chapter book for new readers. Mole is simply mad about magic and is thrilled to have tickets to a traveling magic show. Mouse, once she chooses the right moon-and-star dress for such an occasion, is almost as excited as Mole. But when Mole discovers that the magic is just a trick, his disillusionment nearly overwhelms him. Mouse, ever philosophical, comes up with some real magic that brings Mole happiness. Frequent, small frames resembling comic-book cells are sprinkled among the full-page illustrations, pulling the reader forward. Warm nighttime charcoal-and-gouache hues make the magic of Mouse's natural world warm and inviting to new readers. Perhaps they, too, will look for the magic that is around them everyday, beneath the moon and stars. (Picture book. 5-9)
Talented author and illustrator Wong Herbert Yee is the recipient of a Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor. Mouse and Mole can hardly contain their excitement when they hear the beloved magician Minkus the Magnificent is in town. But at the show, something goes wrong-and Mole discovers that what seems to be magic, really isn't. Mouse must figure out how to show her friend that real magic is all around them-even in the friendship they share. "Yee portrays Mole's vulnerability and Mouse's pragmatism with great sensitivity and humor."-School Library Journal, starred review
