From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2—First introduced in The Mummy and Other Adventures of Sam & Alice (Houghton, 2005), the intrepid siblings are back for more fun. In this set of three intertwined stories, they travel by rocket ship into space; dream up a "genius crocodile" that can do all kinds of things, like invent bubbles that do not pop; and find a pirate's treasure map that leads them to a chest full of gold and jewels. While the text works best if read with an adult, it can be read independently by more advanced beginning readers. Children already familiar with Sam and Alice's imaginary worlds will recognize several references to their first set of adventures in the artwork. The colorful gouache illustrations complement the fanciful plots and add to the book's appeal. Libraries in which the first title is popular will want to consider this one.—Maura Bresnahan, High Plain Elementary School, Andover, MA
