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.

* A tender and imaginative story that beautifully blends whimsy with warmth…. The artwork feels both intimate and alive, perfectly matching the story’s emotional tone….This tale offers a wealth of discussions about empathy, family, and the ways we protect one another. This book is a wonderful choice for read-alouds, social-emotional learning, and art integration lessons.School Library Journal, starred review
