Sophie Hits Six
Sophie proves that size has nothing to do with persistence and her every effort is towards becoming a lady farmer. A new friend at school lives on a farm and Sophie is sure he can help her fulfil her dreams. He can, and does, but the dream is even more wonderful than Sophie had imagined. Yet another sensitive story from Dick King-Smith, who must walk around his farm and see a tale at every corner. After Paddy's Pot of Gold and Martin's Mice, my expectations were high: I wasn't disappointed and neither will you be.
