A bittersweet and gentle tale April 20, 2007
Sophie's Story is author Vince Smith's compelling account of raising an orphaned chimpanzee. What makes this story unique is Sophie, the chimp is reared with the author's human son Oliver. Sophie and Oliver are very close to the same age; Smith's observation of interaction and development of chimp and human child is delightful. This story takes us from the rural countryside of England to Kenya and is infused with hardship, adventure, sadness and much good humour, occasionally it is laugh-out-loud hilarious. I didn't want it to end. This book would appeal to a wide rage of ages.
