Meet Sophie...
SOPHIE LOVES ANIMALS
She is a character who appears in a series of books by Dick-King Smith. She’s a spirited girl who is determined to be a farmer when she grows up. She keeps a piggy bank fund to buy animals for her farm and looks after everything from snails to centipedes.
Sophie is 4 years old in the first book Sophie’s Snail and by the last book in the series Sophie’s Lucky, she is 8 years old. She lives with her mum and dad and older twin brothers. Her favourite relative is her Aunt Alice, an elderly Scottish great aunt who writes to Sophie encouraging her to keep up her ambition.
