A new classmate at Silverlake Forest

Spring brings Sophie Mouse back to school—and a new student, Owen, whose arrival unsettles the class because he is a snake. Sophie’s effort to help her classmates see past their fear gives this opening story a clear focus on welcoming someone unfamiliar and choosing how to respond to first impressions. Set among the animals of Silverlake Forest, the book also introduces the school and friendship circle that anchor the Sophie Mouse series. Easy-to-read language and illustrations on nearly every page are noted in the publisher description.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Beginning readers looking for an illustrated chapter book.
  • Children interested in animal characters and school stories.
  • Young readers exploring friendship and welcoming a new classmate.

Book overview

In this first of a charming series about a little mouse and her forest friends, Sophie Mouse must convince her classmates--and herself--that a new student is nothing to fear. Even if he is a snake! Readers will delight in The Adventures of Sophie Mouse!

In the first book of The Adventures of Sophie Mouse, springtime has arrived at Silverlake Forest! The animals are coming out of their homes, buds are blooming on the trees, and the air smells of honeysuckles and tree bark. Sophie Mouse can't wait to go back to school after the long winter break.

Even better, there's a new student in class--Sophie loves meeting new animals! But the class gasps when Owen enters: he's a snake! No one is brave enough to sit near him, or play with Owen at recess, or even talk to him. Can Sophie help her friends understand that Owen's not scary after all?

With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, the Adventures of Sophie Mouse chapter books are perfect for beginning readers.
