THE ADVENTURES OF SOPHIE MOUSE: SUNFLOWER HOUR

THE SUNFLOWER HOUR by Poppy Green. Illustrated by Jennifer A. Bell.

Book 22 is out in the Sophie Mouse series, and it's about one of my favorite things - sunflowers!

Sweet Sophie Mouse is back anticipating the blooming of a glorious patch of sunflowers. In true Sophie style she wants to spend it with her friends, so she plans a fantastic picnic. The problem? Her friends are all involved in their own plans. Sophie really struggles with feeling left out and plans on continuing ahead with a party for one. Then something super special happens, but you'll have to read the book for that!

I will continue to sing the praises of the Sophie Mouse series. There isn't a series much dearer than this that addresses real feelings that kids often experience in their own lives. Author Poppy Green does a good job of sharing these feelings, and then showing how to move forward in a constructive and respectable way!
