But Sophie makes a discovery about Bernice once she buries her under the warm dirt for a long winter’s rest that highlights the wonder of having something with seeds as a best friend.

Story about a little girl named Sophie who makes friends with a squash. Cute story that could be a great lead in with kids to conversations about friendship.
Super adorable child who loves a vegetable. I can see why everyone loves this.
This book was such an endearing testament to friendship, and also on some level, a simple look at the rebirth of a cherished thing thought to be lost.
I feel like Sophie and I would have been friends as kids. <3

Great story. Not so great for younger kids/storytime, but it would work well for one on one. great for discussion.
Hey...does this star rating thing go beyond 5? It should sometimes. Like for Sohpie and her squash Bernice.
I love this! You will too. One day when Sophie and her parents go to the Farmer's market, Sophie finds a squash that is the perfect size to cuddle and hold. Her parents had been thinking to have it for dinner...but Sophie drew a face on Bernice and introduced her to Mom...Mom ordered a pizza. But having a squash baby has its hazards. I can't tell you how Sophie navigates them because that is all the fun of this heart-warming story of vegetable love.
A must read!

Sophie's Squash is a story of devotion. Sophie is devoted to her "pet" squash and does not believe that she will ever change. It's also a great mentor text for plant life cycles.
The cutest fall story about a girl and her squash bestie. Sophie and Bernice for the win. Perfect reading for fall and winter, and the illustrations by Anne Wilsdorf are adorable! I especially loved all of the details Wilsdorf added to her artwork to help Sophie and Bernice come to life. I'd recommend this award-winning (Ezra Jack Keats Honor Book) picture book to anyone looking for a story about friendship, season changes, vegetables, gardening, and family support.
A fun story about a young girl and her best friend Bernice who just happens to be a butternut squash.
