Sophie's Squash




Kids will love this playful story of of a unique fall friendship between a girl . . . and her squash!

A Kirkus Reviews Best Picture Book of the Century • One of Slate’s 25 Greatest Picture Books of the Past 25 Years

On a trip to the farmers' market with her parents, Sophie chooses a squash, but instead of letting her mom cook it, she names it Bernice. From then on, Sophie brings Bernice everywhere, despite her parents' gentle warnings that Bernice will begin to rot. As winter nears, Sophie does start to notice changes.... What's a girl to do when the squash she loves is in trouble?

The recipient of four starred reviews, an Ezra Jack Keats New Writer Honor, and a Charlotte Zolotow Honor, Sophie's Squash will be a fresh addition to any collection of autumn books.
