Summary: On a trip to the farmer’s market with her parents, Sophie chooses a squash.  While her parents are thinking of eating it for dinner, Sophie has other plans for the acorn squash.  It is now Bernice, a new best friend for Sophie!  Bernice is just the right size to love, tuck into bed, take to the library, and practice somersaults.  But with time, Bernice starts to get “freckles” and becomes a little softer.  After talking to a farmer at the farmer’s market about how to keep a squash healthy, Sophie buries Bernice in the back yard.  She is overjoyed to see Bernice’s babies growing next year!

Review: This is a sweet book that says a lot about imagination, friends, and parental patience.  It will bring a smile to your face.
