Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

No one wants to hear Sophie's song until her music assuages her baby brother's fear of a thunderstorm. PW said, "There is upbeat cheer in the country and western laments and droll humor in the illustrations." Ages 5-up.

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 3. Fabulous cowgirl fiction. Sophie can make up rhymes and sing them with heart. But it's too hot for her family to appreciate her talent. She is brushed off by her mom, her sister, her brother, and finally her dad, all of whom are otherwise occupied. And what songs to scorn! "Ducks and geese, they make me sneeze, I have freckles on my knees....My ears are big, my head is small, it doesn't bother me at all....'Cause I'm a cowgirl, Yippee-ky-yo!" When a nighttime thunderstorm arrives, her baby brother can only be soothed by Sophie's singing "louder than thunder, stronger than lightning." Dodds creates a spirited, funny heroine, giving readers a glimpse at what younger times might have been like for Slue-foot Sue and Sally Ann Thunder Ann Whirlwind. Litzinger uses vibrant shades of pink, coral, and green to match Sophie's funky originality. With watercolors, gouache, and pencil, she sketches faces with tiny eyes. The figures resemble a '90s update of Joan Walsh Anglund's folks, but with lots more humor and character. The font used for the songs looks hand-lettered, emphasizing the unique style of the rhymes. This crooner deserves center stage.?Jacqueline Elsner, Athens Regional Library, GA

5.0 out of 5 stars Sing Sophie is a treasure, May 11, 2000
This review is from: Sing, Sophie! (Hardcover)
As Sophie Adams says, "I looooooooove to sing!" and so she does. This is a really special book. Charming story line with a real cowgirl twang to the language. Great illustrations that add to the story. And, songs...wonderful songs that Sophie makes up and sings to her family. And you'll sing too. It's impossible not to. A family favorite and a must for all home libraries.

5.0 out of 5 stars A storytime delight, January 19, 2000
By 
Brendle Wells (San Jose, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sing, Sophie! (Hardcover)
This is a delightful story! Pages of narration are interspersed with Sophie's wonderfully creative songs. The songs are so important--don't just read them! They should be sung as loud and enthusiastically as possible! Just as Sophie would sing them. Children stared in amazement and delight as I sung them and they will when you sing them as well!

5.0 out of 5 stars Serious FUN!, May 11, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Sing, Sophie! (Hardcover)
I don't know how I found this book for my daughter, but it is our favorite. I read the entire story in a southern drawl and sing all of Sophie's songs off key, loud and twangie until we laugh ourselves silly! All this fun sends my daughter off to happy dreams, and sends me off with a smile on my face for the rest of the night. This is not just a story- this is ENTERTAINMENT!!
