5.0 out of 5 stars A Highly Entertaining Realistic Children's Story, 6 Jan 2001
By wbkzydatiss@t-oline.de (Berlin, Germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sophie's Snail: Abridged (Cover to Cover) (Audio Cassette)
When I bought 'Sophie's Snail' I did not know what to expect from the title. It turned out to be a most entertaining story of a determined 6-year-old and her twin-brothers. In the whole series of 6 stories the children grow older, change, have fun and the reader meets the old friends and enimies in every new part. My son and I couldn't wait to find out how Sophie's life went on and were very sad when we came to the end of part 6. We are still hoping for a follow-up!

5.0 out of 5 stars Dick King Smith-Sophies Snail, 28 Dec 2003
By N. Wilson "nigel-wilson" (Bristol, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Sophie's Snail (The Sophie stories) (Paperback)
This is the first of quitea few books on Sophie.
SOphie is a super character created by Mr King-Smith and is a lovely role model for children.
The book is brillient for children and parents alike to enjoy. It has some really comical and lovely plots, her great aunt al for example, and her over dramatic ambitions to be a farmer!
I think everyone should read this story because everyone can enjoy it.
10/10

4.0 out of 5 stars A very good book, 10 Oct 2000
By A Customer
I enjoyed this book, because of the plot. Sophie, a 4 year old, goes through the book owning a farm of snails, woodlice, caterpillars and other insects, meets a great, great, great aunt from the highlands of Scotland, becomes enemies with a frock wearing, ponytailed Dawn and gets a pet snail. It is funny how she does things, thinks things and says things. A should read book.

The Sophis Snail, and more, collection is ideal for yound readers. Sophie is a tom-boy, and a charming character. Lovely stories, very inoffensive.
