About this audiobook
Best-selling author Daniel Kirk's Library Mouse was praised by Booklist as a "showstopper." In A Museum Adventure, Sam the library mouse and his friend Sarah visit a museum so that Sam can sketch in his explorer's journal. Sarah doesn't understand how explorers can possibly have the time-or the desire-to keep a journal. So Sam shows her how a journal can contain so much more than just writing. As the friends search the museum, they see many new things-and make an unexpected friend.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I was very interested in reading this book to my son because the design was boring but as I read the story, I became interested in writing a children's book. My son decided he wanted to make his own scary book like Sam the mouse did. I figure if this book can inspire a four year old to write a book, it must not matter that the design was a bit on the boring side.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I read this book to my Kindergarten through 2nd grade students on the first day of their library class. It's a great introduction to the library and they love the character of Sam.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A good read for younger children. The book demonstrates a love for reading, learning, and libraries. It also encourages children to write!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I don't give a lot of five stars but I love this book! Maybe it's because I was a teacher and am studying to be a librarian. Great book if you're trying to get students to write stories of their own. Love it!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Good for everyone!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book was an awesome read! I would love to read this to my students because it is a very inspiring plot. The librarians and students keep finding enjoyable stories in the morning on the library shelves, however, they are unaware of who the author is. The author of the short stories ends up being a little mouse who lives in a hole in the library wall. The characters are very well developed and are visually detailed in the illustrations. For example, the mouse is personified by wearing clothes and using a pencil to write his stories. This is a great story that expresses to students that anyone can write regardless of your age, height, intelligence, or looks. The main message in this book is that everyone can be an author and has the capability of doing great things! It was a cute way to inspire young writers.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It's nice, especially if you have doubts about writing or not ;)
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Lovely and inspirational
"We loved it!", raves my 4 year old. I liked the way that the story encourages kids to write their own books. The art is detailed and bright, in a way that reminds me of Mr. Rogers. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a great book for showing the ease in which a child can write their own books!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Library mouse lives behind the shelves in the library and encourages kids to write their own stories. Very cute.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I'm a huge fan of libraries with over four decades experience getting to know them as well as a patron can. So I loved this. I believe that the children's program described could be very effective. I even believe it could be used for all ages - and could even inspire people who don't think they're creative, like me, to tell stories.
Now I do see that at least one real children's librarian was not wowed by this. But that person did not write a review, so I'm not sure what makes the book less than wonderful from their pov.
And I did have a bit of trouble getting used to the illustrations, especially of the people. But the mouse is adorable and the art is cheerful, clear, and a good fit for the text. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I totally recommend this book. It is a children's book full of nice pictures and with a great message for the readers. It is about a little mouse that started writing books and invite others to do the same thing. One of my favorite books!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a very clever story! Sam the library mouse enjoys his home in the public library so much, that eventually he starts writing little books of his own. He adds them to the collection overnight, while the library is closed. Sam's books are discovered, and develops a fan base among library staff and patrons alike! :) The library director leaves Sam a letter (not knowing he's a MOUSE) to "Meet the Author Day." Being shy as a mouse, Sam comes up with a creative way to turn the library's younger patrons into authors, themselves. Cute!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Sam, a shy but creative mouse who lives in a library, decides to write and illustrate his own stories which he places on the shelves with the other library books. But when children find the tales, they all want to meet the author.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Great explains everything you need to know about this book.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Not a fan of Kirk's flat art work, the story is cute-ish. A mouse lives in a library, reads books at night when all the children go home. After reading all the books, he decides to write his own. The children, coming to finally see who the author is are met with a box with a mirror inside labeled "meet the author". AWWW, cute? not so much.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I liked this book a lot because it keeps you interested in the book the whole time. It is also a self motivating book to teach children how to write books and that everyone can be an author and write their own books if they use their imgaination.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Sam the mouse and his murine friend Sarah return in this fourth Library Mouse picture-book adventure, this time setting out to explore the museum located right next door to the library where they live. Sam insists that they take journals, despite the more action-oriented Sarah's skepticism, and they come in handy when, after seeing some amazing art and artifacts, they encounter an unusual feline artist...Like its predecessors, Library Mouse: A Museum Adventure pairs an engaging story with bright, colorful illustrations. Sarah, who first appeared in the third installment of the series, Library Mouse: A World to Explore, makes a good foil for Sam, who is a little more timid in his approach to adventuring. Recommended to fans of the series, and to anyone looking for children's stories about museums, about exploring, and about being an author and/or an artist.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Sam and Sarah explore the museum.
