Sophie in London

The Home of Big Ben

Taking time for tea is the English way… Sophie’s passport has a fresh new stamp! London, England welcomes the little girl on her international adventure.

The story

Fish and chips, double decker buses, and royalty are new and exciting experiences and so different from what she’s used to at home. Sophie makes a friend while ice skating in Hyde Park and they figure out that just because they speak the same language, it doesn’t mean the words are describing the same thing.

Buildings have interesting, fun names like the famous Big Ben and the Gherkin. And the London Eye isn’t exactly what it sounds like.
