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!

The School Mouse by Dick-King Smith

Have you have seen a mouse read? This book is about a mouse named Flora that lives in a school. Once Flora watches a little kid read in Kindergarten, Flora is really curious about reading. But her family sees no use in it. Flora tells them it is very important, especially when Flora finds a bag marked Poison!

I loved this book because it was so fun to see how a mouse can read in Kindergarten and 1st grade. I also like this book because it had such good words that I could imagine the pictures.

I think the author wants to show that reading is very important. Also I think the author wants to show that even if you are a mouse, learning is important.

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.

The book was funny and very interesting. There were a lot of funny parts; like the mice thought letters were things like: B was a bee, C was the word "see", Hyacinth even gave her mousekins funny names like Laburnum, Larkspur and Lavender. Our favortie character was Buck because he was handsome and very interesting. One of the funniest characters we read about was Robin because he made one too many mistakes and he isn't too bright either. We really liked the book and if you want to know more just read "The School Mouse".

They have already read A Mouse Called Wolf, Babe, and School Mouse. The good thing about Smith's books is they are enjoyable to children of most reading abilities. He is a descriptive writer and uses words the kids can understand. My children are appreciating remembering themselves learning to read through the eyes of Flora. They are enjoying her adventures in school.

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!

I loved this book. You would be crazy not to read this book!It
was awsome! It was so cool.Its about this mouse named Flora.She's
born in a kindergarten room.Then she learns how to read.Then
she meets this other mouse.Well I've already told you too much.
Well I hope you like it.

I think this book is good because it had mouse that did extraordinary things in it and some could read.And thay had school just like the other kids.

School mouse is a awsome book with a slow start i would recomend this book for all ages. It is about a school full of mice they are called school mice they are mainly owned by the parents Ragged Robin and Hiasenth. It is a great book.

I really liked the book because it was funny. Mice can't really talk. I think she (the mouse) was the smartest mouse I have ever read about. I just like Dick King-Smith's books a lot lot lot. Even though Joanna Cole is my favorite author. By Sam Gonzalez (age 8)
