We Love Mouse Adventures!

My students need 26 books that we are missing from our favorite book series' Geronimo Stilton and Babymouse, as well as 12 books from a new series The Adventures of Sophie Mouse.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Van Dorp's classroom raised $375

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are bursting with energy and have a strong desire to grow and learn.

The majority of my students are Native American and due to the low socioeconomic area we live in, 100 percent of my students receive free breakfast and lunch at school.

I am aware of the challenges many of my students face and I make sure that when they walk through my classroom door, they are all given an equal opportunity to learn in a positive, encouraging environment.

My Project

My students love to read. They love a good adventure and are growing into ravenous readers. These three book series are all very different but have one thing in common: the characters are all mice.

We can't resist the cute little characters and their ability to take us to another world of adventure, fantasy, and cheese!

The books we are requesting in the Geronimo Stilton series are the newest books in the series. We are ready for the new stories and can't wait to see where the hilarious detective and journalist Geronimo (and his sister Thea) take us next.

The Babymouse series is a favorite among the girls. The books are graphic novels and the setting is a school. The characters are very relate-able and the girls tear through these books.

The last series is titled The Adventures of Sophie Mouse. The characters are all whimsical forest creatures. With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, these chapter books are perfect for our beginning & struggling readers.

These books will be enjoyed by all of my students and we can't thank you enough for helping us grow into life long readers!
