102

From Caldecott Medalist Matthew Cordell comes a cozy, magical nighttime adventure, in which a child discovers the mysterious, miniature world beyond his bedroom walls. Sent home from school earlier in the day with a fever, George awakens in the middle of the night to discover a cricket beckoning him on an adventure and soon finds himself shrunken down in size. He follows the insect guide through a crack in his bedroom wall, through the moonlit yard, and into the home of a family of mice at the base of an oak tree. There, in a tiny, cozy kitchen, George discovers the meaning of his quest: he must help the Mama mouse complete her special 102-bean soup for her sick young son. Delightfully sweet as it is fantastic, 102 seamlessly explores the values of curiosity, kindness, and generosity. The simple yet profound conclusion shares a clever wink with readers, encouraging them to believe the unbelievable.Author: Cordell, Matthew,author Contributors: Cordell, Matthew,author Binding: hardcover Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Format: picture_book Published/Release Date: 23 Apr 2026 Format: Hardback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Little, Brown & Company Author/Director/Artist: Matthew Cordell Dimension (cm): 239x264x9 mm Package Dimension (cm): 11x262x236 mm Item Weight (g): 470 Package Weight (g): 470
