Perdida en el museo (Lost in the Mouseum)

August 1, 2017
Grades K-2 Mice Alberto and Leo are in charge of watching their little cousin Paula, but lose her in the mouseum they are visiting. After deciding who will go left and who will go right, Alberto and Leo split up to look for her. This volume in the Spanish-language Raton matematico (Mouse Math) series wraps the concepts of left and right in an engaging narrative and offers concluding activities to reinforce the lesson. Elementary-age readers will enjoy touring the mouseum as they follow the search for Paula. Playful illustrations incorporate humorous details, such as a recreation of the Mona Lisa with a mouse head. Furthermore, Dominguez ensures that her Spanish translation uses appropriate math terms like linea recta for straight line, instead of derecho, which can be confused for right by readers.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2017, American Library Association.)
