Synopsis

Small but very determined, Sophie is everyone's favourite farmer-to-be! From the beloved author of Babe comes the fifth of six stories about Dick King-Smith's most adored (human!) character, the inimitable Sophie, re-imagined twenty years later by the witty, perceptive paintbrush of the award-winning Hannah Shaw. In this book Sophie gets a dog that she calls Puddle , makes friends with a Vietnamese pot-bellied pig and has her first ride on a pony! This charming, funny story beautifully captures the dynamics of family life and has been given a fresh, contemporary look by a talented artist.
