Sophie and the Seagull

32 pp. | Gareth | September, 2002 | Library ISBN 0-8368-3174-8 $$22.60
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Julia Ginsbach. Quiet Sophie prefers to keep the world at a distance by viewing it through her telescope. When she befriends a one-legged seagull, however, other human friendships soon follow. The story stresses the importance of friendship, but the weak resolution is unsatisfying. The predominately gray illustrations depict the atmosphere of Sophie's coastal village.
