Bravo, Livingstone Mouse!

Pamela Duncan Edwards

Cuter than Christopher Columbus and furrier than Lewis and Clark, Livingstone Mouse is the same intrepid explorer who won readers’ hearts in his search for China. This time, when he puts on his special hat and goes out, Livingstone finds a different kind of adventure. The creatures of the Wild Wood are preparing a dance performance -- but they can’t quite get it right. The foxes can’t trot, the snakes are making knots out of their twist, and the frogs’ square dance has croaked before it began. But Livingstone has a clever idea, and Livingstone Mouse and his Insect Band save the day. Pamela Duncan Edwards’s and Henry Cole’s endearing characters entertain as they also inform about the importance of cooperation and the joy of movement and rhythm.

Reviews

"Cole invests each creature with engaging personality and behavior to display their initial unrhythmic frustrations. The final scene of all dancing together to Livingstone's beat is especially satisfying." —Childrens Literature

"Cole's artwork is perfectly silly, with lots of commanding two-page spreads in forest greens that make clear the laughable situations Livingstone has found. And a-one, and a-two, keep that rhythm Livingstone!" —Kirkus
