Sophie's Squash

This book so cute and well written!! It’s a perfect story about the circle of life basically. My daughter and I have really enjoyed this book. I highly recommend it!!!

Perfect length for a 4 year old to hold interest. Funny and heartfelt, teaches children about resilience, love, loss and accepting transformation. I purchased it for my daughter but will also be bringing it to my classroom for story time.

Such a cute story with a fun ending

One of my top, top favorite picture books. How can a book about a squash bring tears to my eyes EVERY TIME I read it?!? This book is the perfect mix of heart and humor. Definitely one I immediately bought for our shelf at home. There is an independent bookstore next to our local farmer's market. They have a children's book section, but did NOT have this book! I talked to the owner, and said "How can you have all of this 'farmer's market' foot traffic and NOT have this book displayed front & center?!?" She looked into it, and it is now proudly displayed front and center every time I walk in during the farmer's market. I hope I helped this book make it into more homes, because it brings me and my child a ton of joy. This is a book that will stand the test of time. I have no doubt. :)

This is a very interesting, kind, and funny story with great illustrations. Great for 3-6 y.o.

My two boys and I love this book. We purchased it many years ago and read it every fall season. I, personally, look forward to opening our bin of fall stuff to retrieve it. Sophie has empathy and an imagination; she's strong-willed, but not defiant. Sophie cares about her friend, who happens to be a vegetable, and slowly has to come to terms with one of the realities in life: that things will degrade... but, thankfully, the spring holds new beginnings.

I GAVE THIS BOOK 5 STARS FOR SO MANY REASONS BUT I WILL KEEP IT SHORT HERE, I LOVE THE ILLUSTRATIONS, THE STORY LINE OF DETERMINATION OF SOPHIE, THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE PARENTS, THE PATIENCE SOPHIE HAD AND THE TERRIFIC ENDING, LIFE SPRINGS ETERNAL. I CAN'T WAIT TO FIND ANOTHER BOOK WITH ALL THESE ATTRIBUTES AND MUCH MORE. MORE OF MY FAVORITES, DOG LOVES BOOKS, YATES, SHAMOO, ROS HILL,CITY DOG COUNTRY FROG BY MO WILLEMS AND SNATCHABOOK BY HELEN DOCHERTY AND THOMAS DOCHERTY. I HAVE SO MANY MORE FAVORITES BUT CHECK THESE OUT. YOU WILL LOVE THEM.

This book has been our favorite fall themed story that we added to our shelves this year. Sophie has a special bond with Bernice. They go to story time, practice somersaults and Sophie even tucks Bernice in at night. The only problem is that Bernice is a squash. Her parents keep reminding her that vegetables don't last forever, but Sophie just doesn't want to believe them. Finally she starts noticing the physical changes and seeks advice from a farmer at the market. He tells Sophie that a healthy squash needs fresh air, good dirt and love. That gives Sophie an idea on how to help Bernice and the solution is just absolutely perfect!!! This book is truly charming. It captures young innocence and weaves in a bit of humor and some great lessons.

She loved it. 4 years old
