Customer Reviews

Serious FUN!

I don't know how I found this book for my daughter, but it is our favorite. I read the entire story in a southern drawl and sing all of Sophie's songs off key, loud and twangie until we laugh ourselves silly! All this fun sends my daughter off to happy dreams, and sends me off with a smile on my face for the rest of the night. This is not just a story- this is ENTERTAINMENT!!

Sing Sophie is a treasure

As Sophie Adams says, "I looooooooove to sing!" and so she does. This is a really special book. Charming story line with a real cowgirl twang to the language. Great illustrations that add to the story. And, songs...wonderful songs that Sophie makes up and sings to her family. And you'll sing too. It's impossible not to. A family favorite and a must for all home libraries.

I like this book.

I like to sing too. I like when she said I have big toes. I like thunderstorms. I like that girl because she is funny.

sophie is cool

I like this book because it has rhymes.I also like it because it is funny.The last think I about is that it has pictures.

A storytime delight

This is a delightful story! Pages of narration are interspersed with Sophie's wonderfully creative songs. The songs are so important--don't just read them! They should be sung as loud and enthusiastically as possible! Just as Sophie would sing them. Children stared in amazement and delight as I sung them and they will when you sing them as well!
