Gr 2-4-This third installment in the series features Pandora, the cat who has been the keeper of the lighthouse for many years; Seabold, a canine sailor; and three mouse orphans, Whistler, Lila, and Tiny. Seabold teaches Whistler and Lila how to use his compass so they can explore the autumn woods. Lila looks for fairy rings, and Whistler looks for bugs. When he misplaces the instrument and the two mice lose their way, they are rescued by a wise eagle. Graphite drawings expand on the nostalgic, quaint tone of the text and capture the charming characters' expressions. This book is similar in mood, voice, and quality to Joanna Hurwitz's "Park Pals Adventure" series (SeaStar). A solid early chapter book that is suitable for most collections.-Debbie Stewart Hoskins, Grand Rapids Public Library, MI Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
