This charming sequel to the beloved Sophie’s Squash is the perfect antidote to the back-to-school jitters. Sophie goes to school for the first time and has no interest in making friends that aren’t squash. Here’s a gently humorous read-aloud that proves that making friends, just like growing squash, takes time.   On Sophie’s first day of school, nobody appreciates her two best friends, Bonnie and Baxter, baby squash that she grew in her garden. Even worse, one classmate, Steven Green, won’t leave Sophie alone. He sits by her at circle time. He plays near her during recess. And he breathes on her while she paints. Steven just wants to be friends, but Sophie isn’t interested. Still, Sophie knows that her squash friends won’t last forever. Maybe it would be nice to have some human friends after all. . . .

L'amour que lui avait porté Beethoven aurait pu se changer en haine, le compositeur d'Adélaide en fit son héritier. La maladie de Beethoven avait été une inflammation des poumons, l'hydropisie suivit, quatre ponctions furent faites au malade, qui dit pendant l'opération: «besser Wasser aus'm Bauch ah aus der Federf» Les soins de Wawruch et du célèbre Malfatti furent impuissants, Beethoven succomba le 26 Mars 1827. La sympathie générale s'éveilla alors, un magnifique enterrement fut la reconnaissance de Vienne. De tous les maîtres, Mendelssohn et Weber furent les musiciens dont l'esprit était le plus cultivé. L'originalité de Haydn fut d'être un simple dit l'auteur anonyme de la. foi nouvelle cherchée dans l'art. Les lettres de Mozart montrent une touchante ignorance de tout ce qui n'est pas son art. Elles sont le fait d'un homme qui est enfant en toutes choses hormis une seule. L'Italie fut pour Mozart une page de musique à lire. Beethoven fut plus instruit.
