Review by School Library Journal Review
Gr 1-3-Sophie Mouse lives in a sweet and whimsical world of adorably anthropomorphized woodland creatures. In this adventure, the tiny rodent desires a particular kind of berry that will create a paint color unlike any other. Adults may blanch as Sophie tells a small lie, treks through a "dangerous" part of the forest with her friend Hattie, and follows a strange squirrel back to his home for tea. Issues of "stranger danger" aside, most independent readers will enjoy this gentle tale featuring charming black-and-white illustrations throughout. © Copyright 2015.

Review by Horn Book Review
In these chapter books, Sophie Mouse and best friend Hattie Frog experience gentle adventures in their woodland habitat. The two learn to give a new classmate a chance (Friend) and to not trust rumors (Berries). Friendly black-and-white drawings depict all of the animal characters as roughly the same size. The purposeful stories are mildly diverting. [Review covers these Adventures of Sophie Mouse titles: The Emerald Berries and A New Friend.] (c) Copyright 2015.
