Story
Harmony Parker thought animals much nicer than people, and saw everyone she knew as some non-human species. Her father, for example, was most definitely a bald-headed Sea Lion, her mother a tubby, fussy Pouter Pigeon, and her tiresome older sister a Siamese cat.

Story
The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

A lot has happend to Sophie
Just curl up with the children and listen with them, you won’t want to miss a single word.
I have more or less written the same review for all of the sophie stories. I can't urge you enough to get them all. each and every one is sheer delight. Always read by good old Bernard Cribbins.
What a treasure Trove of listening delights in the entire series of Sophie Stories by the incomparable Dick King Smith, writer of children’s stories.
Each story when read brings you to such a happy feel good, wonderful conclusion of this special little girl Sophie, who is so determined, with hair that looks like she has been through a hedge row backwards. and her entire family including her beloved Octogenarian Aunt Al who lives in the Highlands of Scotland on a most desired farm!(with PONIES of course.)
You and your kiddiewinkies are in for a real treat when you listen to the wonderful heart warming stories, read by Bernard Cribbins who has that special voice that puts us all at ease.

Determination and desire make dreams come true.

Sophie knows she wants to be a lady farmer and she has a savings plan already! Sophie also is taking care of many animals and her approach to having more is just wonderful. Kids dream big and Sophie is no exception. She's out to conquer her obstacles and make this one a reality.
