  Small but very determined, Sophie loves animals and is going to be a lady farmer when she grows up.

For Sophie, it's the start of a busy and eventful couple of months, in which she visits a farm, makes a big impression in the school concert, celebrates her seventh birthday, starts riding lessons and forms a binding business attachment!;Dick King-Smith is a former winner of the Guardian Children's Fiction Award and was voted Children's Author of the Year in 1991.
