Sophie's Snail

I read this book to my daughter, Sophia, when she was 3. -- We still laugh and talk about this little girl today, and my Sophia is now 6 years old! We both fell in love with Sophie's Snail and are working on acquiring all of the Sophie books, as well as other Dick King-Smith titles. Sophia is now reading on her own and it won't be much longer before she can handle these wonderful and charming stories. They'll be a terrific addition to our children's library. True keepsakes.

This was a very charming book about a young girl who aspires to be a farmer. She keeps herds of insects as practice and is saving to buy a cow named blossom, two hens named April and May, a pony named Shorty and a pig named Measels. I think that this was a wonderful book about a determined child with a large imagination, and you should buy it for the determined child with a large imagination in your life.

An excellent book for a younger but talented reader. My 6 year old daughter loves the "Sophie books". She is an advanced reader and it is good to find a book of the right level that also has subject material of interest to her. Fun for adults to read at bedtime too.
