Sophie is four-years-old and very determined. When she grows up, she's going to be a farmer. Already she's saving up to buy a cow, two hens, a pony and a pig. She's very fond of most creatures - especially little ones, like snails, and sometimes she does get a bit fed-up with her twin brothers Matthew and Mark. It's with the new girl Dawn, though, that Sophie really puts her foot down, with explosive consequences!
