This trilogy of books has been translated into more than 30 different languages. The latest adventure, Einstein – The Fantastic Journey of a Mouse Through Space and Time mixes superb illustrations in watercolors and pencil with STEAM elements and takes the series into the realm of science fiction, inspired by the great authors of this genre.
