(4) PS Illustrated by Catherine Anholt. Sophie eagerly waits through spring, summer, and fall for the baby her parents tell her will be born in the winter. Once he arrives, however, Sophie finds that a real baby is quite different from the rag doll she's been practicing with. The story is a bit too long (especially for younger listeners), but Sophie's feelings are convincingly portrayed. The warm, reassuring illustrations highlight the changing seasons.
