Reach for this book when your toddler is testing boundaries or having a day where no seems to be their favorite word.

Sophie is a sweet, spirited mouse who loves her family but occasionally struggles with listening. The story follows her through several small infractions, such as refusing to eat her dinner or being too rough with a toy, leading to short time-outs. Through Rosemary Wells' signature warmth, the book emphasizes that while Sophie's behavior might need a reset, her family's love is never in question. It is an ideal choice for children ages 2 to 5 who are navigating the transition from toddlerhood to the big kid years.
