Samuel & Sophia: A Tale of Two Teddies - Teaser Tuesday and First Chapter / First Paragraph

I have a four-year-old granddaughter who loves books, and one of her favorites is Samuel & Sophia - A Tale of Two Teddies by Judy Dearborn Nill. It's the story of twin teddy bears, their loyalty to each other, and their search for the perfect home.

The book is recommended for ages 4 to 8.

First Paragraph:
   A little boy with curly hair poked Samuel in the middle.
   Samuel giggled, but Sophia frowned.
   "I want these bears," the boy told his mother. "What are they called?"
   "The tags say Samuel and Sophia, dear."
   "I don't like the name Samuel," said the boy. "I don't like Sophia either...."

Teaser (from Page 4): 
"We don't need money," said the little girl. "We have credit cards!"

Genre: Children's Fiction
Length: 24 Pages
Publisher's Link: Samuel & Sophia at Guardian Angel Publishing
Amazon Link: Samuel & Sophia at Amazon

  3. I am really looking forward to reading to my great grandson when he is a bit older. We do board books now, and he sits pretty still and seems to listen. He will be 2 in early September.

  4. I was given a teddybear as a baby and have been utterly in love with it since the first moment I saw it, so I'd probably love this story! The cover is really adorable as well. It's great that your granddaughter enjoys reading so because it's a great thing to share with someone! Thanks for sharing :) I hope you have a great week!

  19. Both of those quotes are adorable! My youngest daughter (she's 10) used to tell me she looked forward to being an adult, because then she wouldn't have to work to earn money anymore, she could just have a card like me and go to the ATM to get some :D
