Editorial Reviews

I think I have a new favorite children's book! I read The Travel Adventures of PJ Mouse by myself since I had to write the review, but I look forward to reading these with the kids - all three of them! I am certain all three will love them! The illustrations in The Travel Adventures of PJ Mouse in Queensland are almost better than when he was in Canada!! Absolutely stunning! During this travel, PJ gets to go to Queensland, Australia. I have to admit, Australia is somewhere I have always wanted to visit so it was fun to live the adventure through a "funny little mouse." PJ gets to go snorkeling and wake boarding. He visits the rain forest. He flies in a plane. He gets to have so many adventures and kids get to go with him as they read along! By: Life as Leels My Review: PJ Mouse is back and he is just as adorable as the first book. This time he is in Australia. This is one lucky mouse, he gets to go all through Australia (Queensland) he gets to see new people & animals and the Great Barrier Reef. (I am so jealous of this stuffed mouse) He is still adorable, lovable and I would still buy this book for any kiddo I know. This book does a great job showing the world. Check out his photo below, you know you want a PJ Mouse for yourself. I would personally buy both these books together. The loveable mouse, the fantastic illustrations and the education in the book make this an amazing book! by The Cubicle Escapee This second book in The Travels of PJ Mouse now takes place in Australia. This time rather than travelling in a fifth-wheel RV, PJ Mouse gets to go to the airport, have his passport stamped and fly in a plane! How exciting! My kids still remember the first time they took a jumbo jet to fly to Europe. It's truly impressive. Along with the book, you can purchase a PJ Mouse passport with stickers so that your child can follow along the trip and add to the passport the sticker of each place they visit. Once again, PJ experiences new things on his travelling adventures with Emily and her family. The best part was the visit to the Great Barrier Reef where PJ snorkels and meets a Loggerhead turtle. We learn more about these turtles and observe with PJ how they lay their eggs at night on the protected beach. And of course, he is rescued once again by a lorikeet bird when he gets lost. Whereas the first book in the series focused more on places, this book focuses more on animals. My son and I enjoyed it immensely. The illustrations in this book are more colorful and detailed than in the first. This series not only has a classical look to them but they are reminiscent of books such as Winnie the Pooh. It's refreshing to find writers who can write these types of books that seem to be dwindling. The next book in the series takes place in England. Another great adventure with PJ Mouse! Look out for our review next week. by Library of Clean Reads
