    Excerpt:

    Jonathan's mouse is special. In all three of his titles, The House
    Mouse, The School Mouse, and The School Mouse and the Hamster, the
    little rodent talks to Jonathan and helps the youngster through trying situations. In The School Mouse and the Hamster, for instance, the
    mouse persuades Jonathan that the other class pet, a hamster, needs
    goodies and visits. Jonathan and his mouse feed the hamster, and the
    mouse exercises with the hamster. Confusion develops when the hamster
    has no appetite or energy during the day. In Goodnight, Jeffrey, a
    little boy fights going to sleep by playing with his daytime toys,
    until he finds a trusty stuffed animal that lulls him into inactivity.
    Harris's Don't Call Me Sugarbaby! is based on the true-life story of a
    friend's daughter who developed childhood onset diabetes. The book
    explores the life-altering changes for the girl and her family as she
    copes with a chronic condition.
