Einstein

The Fantastic Journey of a Mouse
Through Space and Time
What a disaster! The little mouse has missed the great cheese fair in Bern. He got there exactly one day too late. How could that have happened? The mouse begins to think about the nature of time… But no matter how much he learns, one question remains unanswered: can time be stopped, or even reversed? Thanks to his own inventiveness and with the help of Einstein’s theories, the mouse succeeds in building a time machine and embarks on an exciting journey…

A September/October Indie Next Pick!

Praise for EINSTEIN

“Another milestone in human-mouse collaboration, virtuosic of visuals and tongue in cheek of tone.”

Starred, Kirkus Reviews

“Kuhlmann’s sepia-tone illustrations are so glorious because of the keen attention he pays to how things might look from a mouse’s perspective. His unique ability to combine fun, facts, science and biography makes Einstein a real triumph.”

Starred, BookPage

“Time is relative, size doesn’t matter, and kindred spirits can be located past and present when it comes to determination, wanderlust, curiosity, and big ideas. A charming volume for story hours, or to launch STEM projects in the classroom.” 

School Library Journal

“Kuhlmann forges another delightful, science-fueled adventure in this beautifully illustrated tale…”

Booklist

“The story is a primer on Einstein’s theories and discoveries, and it prompts discussion on the nature of time itself.”
