This one had me itching to lead a creative writing class at a local museum or gallery, encouraging young authors to imagine what might happen in the museum after dark! A gorgeous picture flap book reminiscent of Night at the Museum, loaded with interesting facts about animals, both alive, endangered and extinct. Kids curiosity can explore fun facts found in a museum with further information or just enjoy the story with goofy side commentary.However, I did find it just a smidgeon disorienting, since it is VERY heavy on the historical tidbits and functions as an almost info-dump on each page. They follow the clues to The Curious Museum which has come to life like The Night at the Museum, and they chase Teddy, the baby mammoth, through different rooms in the museum: Underwater World, the Library, The Flight Floor, The Time of the Dinosaurs, and The Extinct and Endangered Creatures rooms. Karl now lives in beautiful Carmarthen, in Wales, and works as an illustrator making picture books and screen prints, always leaving a paper trail of sketches and drawings wherever he goes.
