Best-selling author Daniel Kirk's Library Mouse was praised by Booklist as a "showstopper." In A Museum Adventure, Sam the library mouse and his friend Sarah visit a museum so that Sam can sketch in his explorer's journal.

As the friends search the museum, they see many new things - and make an unexpected friend.
