Sophie knows lots of words, but she doesn’t always use them.  It’s more fun to speak in hyena talk or space language.  “Use your words, Sophie!” urge her parents, but Sophie just won’t.

But when her new baby sister arrives, Sophie is the only one who can find out what she really wants.  

Use Your Words, Sophie is the third book about the irrepressible two-year old who is wonderful, terrible, and always lovable.

Rosemary Wells is the author of many books for children, including the Max and Ruby books about the popular bunnies who star in their own show on Nick, Jr. In reviewing Sophie’s Terrible Twos, Publishers Weekly said: “Wells continues to demonstrate an almost telepathic gift for distilling everyday frustrations and triumphs to their essence.” Visit her at www.rosemarywells.com.
