PreS-Gr 2—In this second title about forest friends whose motto is "Always remain curious," the group prepares for the Society Soirée where Magnolia the Bunny will display her latest work: a map of the walnut grove. Unfortunately, Magnolia has one spot on the map that is blank and still unexplored. Margaux the Kitty offers to help Magnolia explore the top of the mountain, with a little help from friend Chester the Raccoon. After a hard climb, the three make it to the top and discover a gushing waterfall that is the missing piece of her map. Magnolia finishes her drawing and proudly unveils it to her friends at the gathering. A spread of the map closes out the story. Colorful matte folk-style illustrations pair with a straightforward text.
VERDICT A solid addition for primary grade units on maps and mapmaking and where the first book in the series is popular.
