From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1-- The baby mice born at the end of George and Matilda Mouse and the Doll's House (S. & S., 1988) are now ready for school. Unfortunately, the cat nearly brings schooling to an end by catching an unwitting student. George not only diverts the cat and saves the young mouse, but also discovers the solution to their dilemma in an overturned garbage can. The mice turn a discarded Noah's ark toy into a three-story floating school, safe from feline intrusions. Buchanan lays the groundwork for this ingenious solution by portraying a toy ark among the children's playthings early in the story. This book about the pair moves faster than the first, both because the text is substantially shorter and because there is more activity and a bit of conflict. Buchanan still has inconsistencies, such as whether the pupils meet by day or night, and the clean, cute, cuddly mice remain sweet but unexciting. They make Jill Barklem's "Brambly Hedge" residents look rugged in comparison. Preschoolers who like dollhouses and miniature toys may enjoy the detail in Buchanan's mouse world, but youngsters who demand action in their stories will likely remain dissatisfied. --Kathy Piehl, Mankato State University, MN
