Publisher Description
Sophie knows lots of words, but she doesn’t always use them. It’s more fun to speak in hyena talk or space language. “Use your words, Sophie!” urge her parents, but Sophie just won’t.
But when her new baby sister arrives, Sophie is the only one who can find out what she really wants.
Use Your Words, Sophie is the third book about the irrepressible two-year old who is wonderful, terrible, and always lovable.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Sophie the mouse gains a baby sister in her third outing, and her response to this intrusion involves showing off her inner polyglot, whether it's her command of "Jellyfish language" ("Jubbabubba," she babbles, rolling on the floor) or her decision to sing "the Baboon national anthem in her bed as loud as she could possibly sing" when both girls are put down for naps. Wells remains a master of conveying intense emotions through subtly funny writing, smartly observed situations (in the background, Sophie's parents debate baby names), and emotionally telegraphic art Sophie's narrowed eyes broadcast so much disdain it's downright chilling. Up to age 3.
