Lindbergh
The Tale of a Flying Mouse
A jam-packed special edition of the best-selling first book in the Mouse Adventures series, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the first Transatlantic flight by Charles Lindbergh.
One small step for a mouse; one giant leap for aviation.
These are dark times . . . for a small mouse. A new invention—the mechanical mousetrap—has caused all the mice but one to flee to America, the land of the free. But with cats guarding the steamships, trans-Atlantic crossings are no longer safe. In the bleakest of places . . . the one remaining mouse has a brilliant idea. He must learn to fly!
Torben Kuhlmann’s inventive tale and stunning illustrations have captured the imagination of readers—young and old—with the death-defying feats of this courageous young mouse for over a decade. No reader will want to miss this special edition, featuring a fabric patch, a new cover, two new illustrations, and a celebratory foreword by the author.
An exceptionally fine debut.

The New York Times Book Review
Kuhlmann’s detailed and realistic watercolor-and-pencil illustrations seamlessly blend sweeping architectural backgrounds, technical drawings of each contraption, and dramatic predators looming large over the tiny aviator, all rendered in compelling layouts and a natural-toned palette.
