Editorial Review
Ratminks running amok in the City of Ruins! Evil mutant crabs building giant robots! What was this post-human world coming to?
Thelonious Chipmunk and his friends face a whole new series of adventures after they reach the mysterious Mattakeunk Institute and discover...a time machine! Will the time machine lead them to the answers they seek? Perhaps some of the answers will come when the animals' traveling companion, Bill the Human, regains his ability to speak. However, there is one pressing need above all others -- the need to save their beloved Fog Mound from the Dragon Lady herself, and her evil ratmink assistants.
The enchanting Fog Mound trilogy comes to a satisfying conclusion with this installment, as readers finally learn the truth about the past of the humans and animals alike.

A good book! 
2008-07-13
I'm typing this for my eight-year-old son, who has read all three of the Thelonius books. He says:
I love the idea of the flying sofa! It's a good book because mistakes turn out to be a good thing, and the animals are good at thinking and they have good legends. They're cool! Especially Wally, who is a porcupine. I think it's funny that they think the snapping turtle is a dinosaur. It's funny that there are good rats and bad rats.
Of the three Thelonius books, the second one was my favorite, but this one was good, too.

The art work is really good. The story is entertaining and relevant to current issues.
The perfect adventure for a mother/son reading team! 2008-05-28
My seven-year old son and I somehow stumbled across Susan Schade and Jon Buller's first book about the Fog Mound, and we've become devoted readers ever since. This writer/illustrator duo have come up with the perfect combination of prose and comics to keep the plot moving and the reader engaged. The story involves the adventures of Thelonious, a talking chipmunk, and the other animal friends he meets including Fitzgerald the porcupine librarian and Olive, the bear with a helicopter. The reader soon learns that these creatures live in a world that is no longer populated by humans but only the crumbling remains of their civilization.
The graphic sections are charming and full of wonderful details. The prose sections are engaging and leave the reader eager to turn the page. As with the first two books, "Simon's Dream" is full of humor, originality, daring escapes and fascinating mysteries. What I enjoyed most of all, however, was my son begging "One more chapter! I'll read this one...just one more chapter!". This series really turned my son on to reading. We've now moved on to other less-illustrated animal adventures like "Stuart Little" and "A Cricket in Time Square". If you're the parent of an ordinarily less-than-enthusiastic reader, "Simon's Dream" and the Fog Mound books are a dream come true.
