review 1: This is a unique variation on the "Can we go home now?" theme. Mouse and his owner (perhaps) which I can't tell if it is a boy or man, but it doesn't matter, are on a small steam ship voyage to the Antarctic. Mouse is constantly asking the proverbial question while the "boy" engages his attention with what they are experiencing and activating his imagination until finally at last it is time to go home then the question turns into "Are we there yet?". Cute story and I find the simple stylized illustrations of Canadian artist Frank Viva quite compelling. I'm tempted to check out his other couple of picture books to appreciate his style better.
review 2: A beginning graphic novel. Mouse and his friend the boy are on a trip to the Antarctic. Mouse continually asks
... moreif they can go home, but boy says "not yet" because they might see.... Turn the page as mouse guesses 4 things they might see, 4 things they feel as small as, 4 things a whale does. This would be a great conversation starter between a parent and child; each could guess what mouse might answer before the page is turned. less
