Meet Sophie and Her Twin Brothers
|

All other Dick King-Smith stories I know have animal characters. Now, here's the exception. The Sophie series is entirely realistic, yet funny and thrilling. If you want to enjoy the whole set of 6 stories you best start with 'Sophie's Snail' because she and her twin brothers grow older, change and have new adventures in every story but you meet the old friends and enimies, too. My son and I were very sad when we came to the end of number six. We are still waiting for a follow-up because we are keen to learn how Sophie's life continues.

The Sophie series are great for emerging readers. They are very funny and appeal to children and parents alike. They are written in a style which is both easy for children to listen to and read aloud. Also parents enjoy reading them aloud as they flow with good use of English. Sophie gets into all sorts of scrapes usually involving animals and her group of friends.Especially the long suffering Andrew, whom she is determined to marry as being a farmer's son, he will enable her to become a lady farmer! The story lines are strong and have a good moral basis. My seven year old daughter has read and reread these - what better indication of their excellence. Also the cassette versions are very well done and kept our entire family amused on a long journey through France.

Great story for a young reader who likes pets.

I realy liked this book because Sophie has lots of pets of her own and I like pets too. Sophie gets a wish that she has been wanting but you'll have to read it to find out what it is. This book is really for a younger reader.
