What does the Pageticker team say about Adventuremice: Mousehole To The Centre Of The Earth?
We love the combination of fast-moving adventure, daft humour and wonderfully imaginative underground creatures. Pedro and the Adventuremice show how teamwork, creativity and empathy can solve problems, while the richly detailed illustrations help bridge the gap between picture books and independent reading. The Hamstersaurus Rex may seem alarming at first, but the story keeps the danger playful and reassuring, making it a strong choice for children who enjoy exciting early chapter books.
