Hello to all from your best furry friend, Sophie! I hope you’re having an awesome autumn–I sure am! Over the summer Mel and I took a really fun trip to Los Angeles (aren’t I a lucky dog?!) before school started. Then we came back to St. Louis so that Mel could start graduate school at [...]

Today I made my return visit to cousin Daniel’s school, Cantiague Elementary. Last year I read with his kindergarten class, but this year we moved up to first grade! Mel and I were the “secret readers.” I tried to tiptoe in very quietly, barely lifting a paw, but I was sliding along the slippery floors! [...]

This was one of my most favorite events. Visiting Cantiague was very special because I was invited by my cousin Daniel! He couldn’t wait to have me come meet his kindergarten friends. There are no kids with hearing loss in Daniel’s class, but he told everyone about his big sister, Julie, who has two cochlear [...]

Recently we got to be a part of a special event at Mel’s school, Fontbonne. They were giving students a chance to show off the projects they were working on. Mel displayed our book and stuffed animal. She also talked about creating our latest video and about all of the therapy work we’ve been doing. [...]

She decided to share the story with her classmates, and they loved learning about cochlear implants with her! If you [...]

Another one of my favorite visits was to CID. Most of the kids there have hearing aids and cochlear implants, just like my friends at Moog! Mel and I got to be special guests on a day when all of the parents were coming! I felt like a little celebrity. We even got to do [...]

Most of the time, I share Sophie’s Tales with kids, so it was very exciting when Dr. Barger, a professor at Fontbonne University, wanted to share the book with her class of graduate students. The course was all about using literature in the general education classroom. Some people might think that our book is only [...]

Did you know there is an elementary school right near our apartment? Mel and I pass it on our walks, and I love saying hi to the students on the playground. So, I asked her if we could read our book at the school, and Dr. Koblitz was happy to do a read-aloud with his [...]

We also read Sophie’s Tales in Moog‘s Discovery Room, or preschool. It was different reading with younger kids, but just as fun! The kids love seeing me as a stuffed animal with a cochlear implant. They even used the toy as part of their veterinarian theme. Now, whenever my owner, Mel, walks in the room, [...]
