從今年開始，每個秋季必讀的可愛繪本！
當心愛的南瓜好友開始「長雀斑」，小女孩該怎麼辦？
Sophie和父母去市集採買時，親自挑選了一顆可愛的小南瓜。Sophie好喜歡這顆南瓜，覺得它大小恰好可以放在膝上、抱在懷中，回家後不但不准媽媽把它做成晚餐，還幫南瓜畫了一張臉，取名字叫Bernice。
從那天開始，無論是去圖書館聽故事或是去農場見其它南瓜，Sophie與Bernice像一對超級好朋友般如影隨形，對於爸媽好心警告她南瓜會腐壞，也當成耳邊風。當冬天的腳步慢慢接近，Sophie終於注意到Bernice的改變…她會拿它怎麼辦呢？
全書由作者Pat Zietlow Miller輕快的文字與繪者Anne Wilsdorf詼諧的插圖組成，將小女孩純真的童心描繪得入木三分，令人發噱的同時，也能傳達出一份溫暖真摯的情意。（文／博客來編譯）

On a trip to the farmers' market with her parents, Sophie chooses a squash, but instead of letting her mom cook it, she names it Bernice. From then on, Sophie brings Bernice everywhere, despite her parents' gentle warnings that Bernice will begin to rot. As winter nears, Sophie does start to notice changes.... What's a girl to do when the squash she loves is in trouble? With absolutely delightful text by Pat Zietlow Miller and downright hilarious illustrations from Anne Wilsdorf, Sophie's Squash will be a fresh addition to any collection of autumn books.
