Meet Sophie and Her Twin Brothers - By: , 06 Jan 2001 
All other Dick King-Smith stories I know have animal characters. Now, here's the exception. The Sophie series is entirely realistic, yet funny & thrilling. If you want to enjoy the whole set of 6 stories you best start with 'Sophie's Snail' because she & her twin brothers grow older, change & have new adventuresin every story but you meet the old friends & enimies, too. My son & 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.
great fun for children and adults alike - By: , 06 Jun 2000 The Sophie series are great for emerging readers. They are very funny & appeal to children & parents alike. They are writtenin a style which is both easy for children to listen to & 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 & 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 & have a good moral basis. My seven year old daughter has read & reread these - what better indication of their excellence. Also the cassette versions are very well done & kept our entire family amused on a long journey through France.
Great story for a young reader who likes pets. - By: , 27 Apr 1999 
I realy liked this book because Sophie has lots of pets of her own & 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.
