Dakota Crumb and the Secret Bookshop: A Tiny Treasure Hunt
by Jamie Michalak (Goodreads Author), Kelly Murphy (Illustrator)

5 out of 5 stars

Dakota the mouse receives a letter from her cousin Julien begging for her help to find a lost book. Dakota follows the clues to a bookstore in Paris. She must search diligently to find each clue along the way that leads her to the secret book. But when she reaches the end of her search, the book is not at all what she expected.

This is such a cute book! Dakota is full of courage and resourcefulness. I just love stories about little mice making their way through a big world. I love all her funny adventures in the bookstore! The story encourages using your imagination.

One of the cool things about this book is that it is also a search-and-find. While Dakota is searching for the treasure, the reader can also search for the items listed in the back of the book. They are hidden in the background of every scene. I love the details in this book!

The illustrations are really colorful and interesting. I love the art style, and how expressive Dakota is.
