To my three children- Katie, Stephen, and Bradley.

Their love of good stories when they were small was never ending, and I was perfectly happy sitting on the couch with them working our way through a stack of books.  I hope somewhere, today, a mother sits and reads the School Mice series with her children, and someday looks back on those times with great joy too!

Acknowledgement

Once again, I would like to thank Larry Cavanagh for his help with editing and layout, as well as his encouragement. A word change here or the tweaking of a sentence there makes a huge difference when the finished book is ready for printing!

Paige Lee deserves my thanks too as she continues to bring Murray and his family to life with her artistic skills!  With each book, their personalities grow on us, and we are able to enter their special world under the bookcase in Classroom #101!
