Scoochie Mouse makes her home in the chicken coop beneath the nest of her friend Henrietta, on the farm of a kind family with two children, their friend Birdie, and their dog Woof. Scoochie's adventures are interwoven with farm and family life, the circle of the seasons, and fairy tales told during quiet evenings. Drawing on the wisdom of the Waldorf approach to early childhood learning, Scoochie Mouse and the Miracle of Life is a gentle book about having respect for the natural world and showing kindness to all creatures. The short chapters are perfect for reading aloud to young children and are appropriate for early readers to read themselves, making this a lovely companion to The Adventures of Scoochie Mouse and an enriching resource for teachers and parents alike.
Theresa Roach Melia was a Waldorf kindergarten teacher for many years. She is also the author of The Adventures of Scoochie Mouse. She lives in northern California, USA.
If you enjoyed the first Scoochie Mouse book, you should waste no time in picking this one up as well. All the elements of the original Scoochie Mouse book are in full force here. Aspects such as sensitivity to seasonal understandings, wonderfully imaginative and picture rich language, adult themes told in kid friendly language, stories within stories, songs - you name it, it is in here! No doubt Theresa Roach Melia has brought her years of experience as a Waldorf educator to life here and continues to deliver. Even those not part of the Waldorf movement and just looking for a child friendly story with some depth should welcome this into their homes. I am looking forward to more as the Scoochie Mouse legacy continues. Frank Vazquez, Resource Specialist, Sebastopol Independent Charter School
