Sophie and Lou

Rating:
Summary: Sopie and Lou, a book to keep
Review: I bought "Sophie and Lou" for my daughter when she was 5. Over the years I have sold most of the books I bought her (she is now 11), but "Sophie and Lou" remains a favorite. The illustrations are great, and the story is especialy appealing for a shy child who would like to join in. As with many children's book, it is appealing to adults as well, and I recently went looking for this book to give to an adult friend who has taken up ballroom dancing.

Summary: SOPHIE AND LOU is a truly heart-warming book.

Review: My five-year-old daughter just received this book as a gift three days ago, and we've already read it at least 25 times. I'm not sick of it yet! We both love the illustrations (so many little details to enjoy; they really add to the story) and the gently humorous tone.

The main character is someone who children can identify with and root for. Her will to seek out joy in spite of her crippling shyness is inspirational.

This is a beautiful love story, and we always end it with a happy sigh. I'll want a copy of my own, even after my daughter grows up, just to read when I need a smile and a little heart-glow.
