loved this one, the plot was extremely enjoyable and the characters likeable. i would have liked to have read it when i was younger, it's such a lovely children's book.

As a child I did really enjoy reading this book and seeing what mischief Sophie and Paul got up to. But as an older teenager I see that it is quite jarring in the way that The stories are connected and it's more like a bunch of short stories put into one novel.
This book was read for the 'Read a book in a different continent than yours' prompt for the Reading Rush

Une très jolie version BD de ce grand classique de la Comtesse de Ségur.
Les dessins sont très actuels et j'ai particulièrement aimé la gamme de couleurs à dominante bleue et violette.
Ce fut un grand plaisir de retrouver ces petites histoires de mon enfance... comme a l'époque, mes préférées restent le thé et les sourcils de Sophie. Que de malheurs !
J'ai maintenant très envie de lire Les Petites Filles Modèles dans la même collection d'autant que lorsque j'étais enfant, il avait toutes mes faveurs !

Sophie's Misfortunes is a French children's classic. Sophie is four and is always disobeying her mother. With terrible results. Especially for animals.
This was an awful translation. Especially awful were the incorrect pronouns. I only know a little French, but I think I could have done better than this.
Nevertheless, it's the first time I've found an English translation. I suppose it's better than nothing.
Of course it's on the 1001 Children's Book list.
