The School Mouse

I just finished this awesome book called The School Mouse.I like how it showed how important it is to read. My favoite character is Love-in-the-Mist, Lovely, for short. My favoite part was when Flora taught Lovely, Buck, Hyacinth, and Robin to read. Lovely caught on fast. This book is amazing! You should read this fantastic book as soon as you can!

A must read for kids!

My 4th grade students just finished reading "The School Mouse." It was a huge hit. We laughed outloud many times and worried about the fate of the wonderful little mice. This is a great one to read aloud to your child or to your class.

It Will Knock Your Socks Off!!

The School Mouse is about a young mouse, Flora, who is born in a kindergarden room in a school. She was so eager to learn things that she studied the books that were left open on the children's desk! Flora's parents said that her education was good for nothing! When the janitors put pellets out to kill the mice, Flora was the only one who could read the package which said Poison! She saved her parents and her little sister but the rest of her family and all of the other mice families had already eaten the pellets. Flora could not save them. After that, Flora's parents were happy that Flora was able to read but they decided to move out of the school because there were no other mice left to live with. Flora wanted to continue to learn so she stayed on at the school. Then one night, Flora thought she saw her brother Willam's ghost. To find out what happens and if the figure that Flora sees is really the ghost of her brother, William, read the book!
