BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

Dakota Crumb is a mouse who sneaks through the museum at night looking for lost treasure. She finds a few things and takes them home to become part of her own tiny mouse museum. Such a cute idea, a mouse making a museum of found items. 

 Unfortunately, the three things that Dakota finds on her nightly quest, AJ could not identify - it would have been nice if the author have been a little more descriptive in the text. A postage stamp is not a familiar article to a 6 year old, neither is a gumdrop. However, the picture book redeemed itself at the end with a "look back and find" labeled and pictured list, so the re-read was quite a bit of fun.
