Mabel Mouse has seven jobs to finish before the Lantern Picnic-and she is determined to do every one all by herself.
But when napkins become tangled, a heavy wagon sinks into the mud, and paper lanterns roll toward the creek, Mabel realizes that even the best plans sometimes need a helping hand. With four simple words-Could you help me?-she discovers a better way to get big jobs done.
Filled with warm watercolor illustrations, gentle humor, and lovable animal friends, Mabel's Help-Hiccup gives young children a clear and practical way to ask for help when something feels too difficult or overwhelming. As Mabel learns to recognize her feelings, explain what she needs, and choose someone she trusts, she discovers that accepting help does not mean giving up her independence.
This reassuring picture book helps children learn to:
- Use the phrase Could you help me?
- Understand that asking for help is a sign of courage
- Break large tasks into smaller, manageable steps
- Practice cooperation, friendship, and gratitude
- Talk with a trusted adult when something feels like too much
Perfect for reading aloud at home, preschool, kindergarten, early elementary classrooms, counseling sessions, and social-emotional learning activities.
Recommended for children ages 4-7.
Part of Jay Lee's Big Feelings, Little Adventures collection-warm and humorous stories that help small paws navigate big feelings and brave everyday moments.
