Sophie In The Saddle

Product Description

Sophie wants to be a lady farmer when she grows up, & she has a large collection of animals. She already has herds of insects, a rabbit & a cat & now she has a puppy too
- Puddles the terrier has joined the family, named & trained by Sophie. In Cornwall for the summer holidays, Sophie feeds a Vietnamese pot-bellied pig, stays on a farm, meets some new friends & starts riding lessons. She also learns to swim, encounters an old enemy on the beach & has her first ever horseback ride on Bumblebee, a grey pony: she turns out to be a natural rider. When she learns that riding lessons are very expensive, she is sad to have to stop until next summer
- but luckily Aunt Al comes to the rescue... The Sophie stories, written by Dick King-Smith, are perennial classics, loved by generations of children. Centred on the adventures of a confident, animal-loving little girl, they are perfect for any child who loves to play & explore the world around them.
