- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Kellogg's story is an adventurous tale about a group of mice, led by a strong female mouse named Jenny, who travel across the ocean to find a new place to live. Upon arriving at an island inhabited by a "skog," they fear that the skog is an angry creature, and they work together to make elaborate plans to take over the island from the skog. After realizing that the skog is really a small animal dressed in a large, scary costume, they decide to share the island and live together as one big family. This story is not only about adventure and encountering new places and people, but its endearing ending shows the importance of sharing and cooperating with others.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5When Jenny and her other mice friends decide they want to move away to a more peaceful place, they finally settle, after sailing, to the Island of the Skog. But, what they find when they get there is this island is only inhabited by the Skog itself, a terrifying creature to these little mice. When the mice battle with the skog over who gets to live on the island, the mice discover that the skog is not a big scary creature after all and they all end up living on the island happily together.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Not my favorite Steven Kellogg book, but still cute. :)

They reach the Island of Skog and fear what they don't know about the Skog. Both theirs and the Skog's imaginations go wild with fear leading them to act in ways that are harmful.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I felt that this book was very well written. It was also cute and silly the way it was written from the perspective of mice. I loved the moral behind the story and the pictures really made it come alive.
