I love this book because it continues the story of Sophie, who is now in Reception class with nasty Dawn. In this book Sophie makes friends with a stray cat who she calls Tom, assuming he is a boy. She also continues farming bugs and dreaming of being a lady farmer. My favourite character is Tom the cat who has a personality of his own and is a very likeable cat. This book is full of humour, especially with Sophie’s new friend (servant) Duncan! I would recommend this book to others.

It was nice hearing about when she got her cat, but sad when she lost him, and very happy when she found him again. I would like to be a farmer. I liked Sophie the best because she was a farmer. I think people who are five years old would like this book because she is five.

What I have found out in this book is that Sophie is very small but very determined and has turned five.She has been wanting a pet and one day her wishes came true...I like this book because slowly you notice that if you want to become a teacher or a vet or anything if you keep trying to do the right thing then one day you will get to the right path.This is a fiction book and so far Dick King Smith book are one of my favourite.I can't wait for the next one!

This book is about Sophie and she wants to keep a stray cat. But her mum doesn’t let her because her dad doesn’t like them.

In this book Sophie adopts a stray cat and thinks it's a boy but it is a girl and has four kittens. I like this book because it has cats in and cats are my favourite animal. It is a short book and was easy to read. I think year 1 - year 3 should read his book.

Sophie loves everything to do with animals, just like me! When she grows up she wants to be a lady farmer.

I really like this book, especially when she finds Tom the cat. And then when it turns out that it’s a she, and Tom has babies. My favourite character is still Sophie I would recommend the second book.
Dame Peaches Banana 05.09.2020

I liked that it had a cat in the story, and the cat wasn't a boy, it turned out to be a girl and she had 4 kittens.
Professor Sapphire Partridge 04.09.2020

My favourite character was Tom the cat. I liked the book because it was really imaginative.
Commander Portobello Palm-tree 02.09.2020

I liked this book because they find a cat called Tom and at the end they find out it's a girl and they call it Tomboy. My favourite character is Sophie because she is funny and says things like "you're mouldy, stupid and assive"
Judge Panther Rollerskate 01.09.2020

This book is fantastic. I love it so much. My favourite part is the part where Sophie finds her cat, Tom, for the first time. It is in the first chapter. I read it straight away. I really liked it.
Dame Amazonia Foxtail 15.08.2020

I thought this book was brilliant because it was funny.The best character was Sophie. I would recommend this book to my Daddy. In this book Sophie thinks the cat, Tom, is a boy, but then he has kittens so she has to change his name to Tomboy. It is Aunt Al's ideas to call her that.

I like it when Tom comes back
