Book Overview

Join Mabel and her made-up elephant companion, Mr. E, as they navigate second grade in the first book of this charming graphic novel series for early readers!

This heartwarming tale follows Mabel, a creative second grader who finds herself being followed by an imaginary elephant.

As Mabel navigates the challenges of feeling left out and adjusting to a new class at school without her best friends, she encounters an unexpected companion--Mr. Elephant, or "Mr. E," who quickly becomes her secret confidant, joining her in handling the ups and downs of everyday life.

Young readers will be captivated by the vibrant illustrations that bring Mabel's inner world to life, complete with an elephant that's a champion at hide-and-seek and has a passion for peanut butter.

This graphic novel is an ode to the magic of childhood and the importance of friendship--both real and imagined. With a mix of fiction and nonfiction elements, readers will learn alongside Mabel about plant biology, the value of creativity, and the beauty of accepting oneself, quirks and all.
