More than anything in the world, Sophia wants a pet giraffe for her birthday. All she has to do is convince her Mother, Father, Uncle or Grand-mama. Piece of cake! Except that it isn’t. With each detailed proposal she presents, she is turned down for using too many words. Persistence and determination become Sophia. How could anyone say no? “One Word from Sophia” introduces rich language and new vocabulary in a fun and humorous way. This is a great read aloud or could be turned into a short play.
