My Review:
Centering around a little girl named Sophie, I am NOT Sophie! is a cheerful and charming book that exhibits the joy of pretend play, the magic of imagination, and the importance of unconditional love.
One Sunday morning finds little Sophie declaring her new identity as a tiger. And she acts like one too. Each morning afterwards, she surprises Mommy by turning into a different animal and acting accordingly all day long. Toward the end of the week, Sophie decides to resume being her normal self, whom Mommy loves from head to toe.
Using repeated words and predictable patterns, the story is easy to follow and pleasant to read aloud. While being entertained by Sophie's hilarious mimicking activities, the little ones are introduced to various wild animals and the verbs that are commonly used to describe their moves and sounds.
Full of vitality and creativity, Sophie is a loveable and relatable character that motivates young readers to start their own imaginative play. Her cuteness is vividly captured in the book's colorful and action-packed illustrations. Sophie's mom, on the other hand, exemplifies a supportive and loving parent who patiently plays along and lets the child make her own discovery. The best part of the story is how it ends with a touching exchange of affection between mother and daughter.
Amusing and accessible, I am NOT Sophie! is the perfect book for curious and active early readers who love animals and free play.
