Booklist Review

Gr. 2-4. Think of Sophie as a slightly plump, more determined, British Ramona. In her fourth appearance, Sophie, now nearly seven, is still fixed on owning a farm and farm animals, but she's also headed for riding lessons. The lessons actually arrive late in the book, after readers have followed Sophie through a classroom unit on farm life and numerous fund-raising ventures. Her trenchant discussion of cows, udders, and "you have to have a bull" is memorable. Neither Sophie's personality nor King-Smith's prose are fluffy or fussy; everything seems just right. Fans of the previous books will be well pleased. (Reviewed July 1995)156402542XMary Harris Veeder

Horn Book Review

Sophie's aunt has promised her riding lessons for her seventh birthday, and Sophie, who is as determined as ever to become a 'lady farmer,' can hardly wait to begin. In this fifth book about Sophie, her antics -- as she tries to earn money for her farm or learns to be kind even to the class wimp -- will delight young readers.
