In Mother's Day, young Sophie Rabbit works hard to create the perfect card for her mother, only to discover it vandalized. In Charge, Sophie's mother gives her the near-impossible task of minding her recalcitrant little brother at her school's summer fair. Both stories are compelling, compassionate, and economically told. The line and watercolor illustrations in muted hues suit the sweet-natured stories. Review covers these titles: Sophie and the Mother's Day Card and {cf2]Sophie in Charge.
