A Trip to the Bottom of the World with Mouse by Frank Viva

Viva's illustrations are vibrant and playful, the monochromatic tones evoking the the geography wonderfully. Viva tells the facts of the journey through the human companion to Mouse, who provides the childlike anticipation, impatience, and humor that makes this book a story.
The penguins and whales and antics of Mouse will delight young readers, but honestly, I just can't get over what a stunningly beautiful book A Trip to the Bottom of the World with Mouse is! Look at how Viva creates the reflection on the water! Admire the color palette! Delight in the crisp lines! Buy this book even if you don't have a beginning reader because it's just so cool!!
