Sophie Hits Six (Sophie Books)
Small but very determined, Sophie is everyone's favourite farmer-to-be! Life as a farmer-to-be is very varied. Sometimes it is very hard work, like when Sophie's cat has kittens. Sometimes it can be sad as Sophie finds out when the kittens are rehomed and sometimes it is just mucky, like Sophie's jumper when she falls into a cowpat. With three-legged races, a trip to an agricultural show and a part in the nativity play, surely Sophie is too busy to contemplate any more animals? But then again, this is Sophie we're talking about, with her dogged determination anything is possible ... Six-year-old Sophie faces home and school life in her very unique, stoic fashion. The situations she gets herself in will draw a smile from the young, empathetic reader and the most wearied parent. Illustrations litter the pages, reflecting the mayhem that Sophie leaves in her wake!
