Lindbergh The Tale of a Flying Mouse by Torben Kuhlmann*

The invention of the mousetrap sends mice scurrying to North America via boat.  The main character, little mouse, tries to join them but is thwarted by cats.  The little mouse decides to build a plane to fly across the Atlantic to NYC.  He experiments and perseveres until he is successful.
Two full pages of illustrations make this book one readers will linger over and study.
At the end are a few brief biographies from major forces in aviation (Otto Lilienthal, The Wright Brothers, and Charles Lindbergh).
A longer picture book that will appeal to older readers too
*Highly recommend.

Mr. Kuhlmann is an amazing artist.
