Sophie and the Swans Review
Such a sweet story about the swans Sophie loves so much. (I have a white pet duck so I get it.) Everything is peaceful and lovely until Ned, a new neighbor boy, and a big old bully, puts a ripple in the lake. Sophie confronts him and soon meets his nice brother Sam. One day, the bully Ned runs into trouble and needs help. Sophie and Sam momentarily consider ignoring him – but in the end, they are much too nice and give in to help. This is a story about a bully and two nice kids who consider stooping to his level. We’re so happy they offered Ned kindness and made a difference. A great story to start a conversation and to show kids it’s nicer to be nice.
