Praise for this book
"Simple language paired with striking and amusing graphics will draw emerging readers in while well-chosen scientific details provide an appealing introduction to earth science and the world of volcanoes." - Kirkus Reviews
"Viva's marvelous illustrations engage readers and provide details and diagrams that will spark curiosity - and probably make them hungry for pizza ..." - Books4YourKids
"This ... is a fantastically fun book for emerging readers ... Partly a science lesson about volcanoes and climate zones, partly an allegory about patience and determination, A Trip to the Top of the Volcano with Mouse is a Level 1 book that'll have kids returning to it time and again. And craving pizza with every reading." -- Jamie Greene, The Roarbots
Praise for Frank Viva's A Trip to the Bottom of the World with Mouse
2012 Cybils Award Winner
Apartment Therapy's Best Children's Books of 2012
"Young children will identify with the protagonist as he pines first for the destination and then for home, never quite satisfied with what's on hand, a problem that Viva's readers will not share." - Booklist
"They started tossing out terms like 'retro-aesthetic' and 'full bleed pages' but all I know is it looks purdy." - Publishers Weekly
"Clear, cool, and beautiful, it belongs on your bookshelf even if you're considerably older than four." - Paste Magazine
"This latest outing with Mouse is an exemplary choice for emergent readers, graphic novel lovers, and curious kids eager to learn about volcanoes (and pizza)." - Amy M. Laughlin, School Library Journal STARRED REVIEW
"A Trip to the Top of the Volcano is a fun mix of fiction and nonfiction, with stylish, vibrant graphics. There's a beautiful cross-section spread, showing not only how plant life grows up the mountain, but the parts of the volcano, including the magma chamber, vents, and crater. There is information about local wildlife, plant life, and volcano characteristics, all communicated with simple, straightforward sentences that new readers will love reading and pre-readers will love listening to." - Mom Read It
"Fiery reds and oranges appropriately dominate the crisply drawn artwork, and plenty of expressive type and dialogue balloons will hold readers' attention. Framing by Viva is unfussy but effective, from the quarter panels used to convey nuggets of information to the spreads that open up the landscape and make every inch of the book's long horizontal format count." - Publisher's Weekly
"Graphic designer and illustrator Viva brings his signature style to his latest comic for young readers. Bold, simple shapes and a limited color palette leave the pages vibrantly full but sharp and uncluttered. Mouse is highly expressive, and young readers will share Mouse' trepidation over all the dangerous things they encounter during the journey. The best part? Mouse' reward for a job well done." - Booklist
