Sophie’s Squash by Pat Zietlow Miller and Anne Wilsdorf is adorable.  Sophie and her parents visit the Farmer’s Market.  Her parents let her pick out a vegetable.  To me, it looks like she chooses a butternut squash.  One of my favorite fall veggies.  Not ML’s; too much like a sweet potato.  But to Sophie it is not a vegetable to be eaten.  It’s a new friend she names Bernice.

By far the sweetest book of the year.  I didn’t tell much about the story because I want you to discover the delight just as much as ML and I did.  It’s a great family read-aloud.

Happy Thanksgiving!
