      Sophie's squash is an endearing story about friendship being found in the most unlikely places.I loved this story because it shows the way that children's minds work sometimes. When we are younger we get attached to many things that we might think are so precious, and this book did a great job portraying that idea. When Sophie and her parents go to the supermarket, they buy a squash. Sophie starts growing attached to the squash, and her parents tell her she can't be friends with a squash because squash is something that they will eat. Sophie refuses to do such a horrible thing. After time passes on, her squash, Bernice is beginning to rot and Sophie starts investigating hoe to keep it nice and fresh. Eventually Sophie ends up putting Bernice underground hoping that she will get better, but Bernice has decided to do something bigger. She grows and gives fruit to two more squashes, which Sophie ends up loving just as much as she loved Bernice.

      Little girl has a peculiar attachment to a squash.
    • 4/5
      This is a silly book about a little girl who adopts a squash. Sophie takes her squash everywhere much to the chagrin of her parents only to find that over time her squash is getting quite squishy. She puts the squash in the soil and next year gets a surprise! I would recommend this for young school age children who might find humor in it and learn a little about the life cycle of a plant.

      Discover what happens when Sophie decides to befriend the squash her mother bought at the farmers' market. I read it aloud with 1st and 2nd graders and they were hooked. Opens them up to talk about friendship and that friends truly do come in all shapes and sizes. What they really enjoyed was making their own squash friends afterward with a simple paper activity. If I had a real live squash for every one of them, that would have been even better.

      Sophie's Squash is about a girl who decides to personify a squash. Sophie loves this squash. This squash is her best friend. This squash goes everywhere with her. I'm at a point now in my education where I had to write the sentence "This squash is her best friend", which is a sobering reality. Eventually this squash begins to rot, so she plants the squash in the garden to heal it. Then it produces new squashes. Now Sophie has two squash friends.Good read if you want to educate students about squash. I think this girl needs some non-vegetable friends.
    • 5/5
      Sophie's Squash is a fun book about a little girl who befriends and takes care of the squash that came home for supper one evening. The story is super engaging and the illustrations that go along with it really help enhance the close relationship that Sophie has with Bernice, the squash. In this book, Sophie shows unconditional love for Bernice as she totes her everywhere, even somersaulting with her down a hill. In the end, Sophie learns that when you let something go, there might be something just as good waiting to take it's place.

      A silly sweet story of a girl and her squash, for people who are very young and can't do spiders.

      Good book. Zane and Channing had been together for nine months. He had made it clear at the beginning that he doesn't do commitments, he doesn't fall in love. Even though Channing felt there was more to what he felt for her, when he refused to consider a future she cut her losses and left him. Two years later she comes back wearing another man's ring. Even though he still is anti-commitment he doesn't want her with anyone else. I liked Zane though he was certainly frustrating. He likes women - a lot. He has frequent relationships though they are all short and he makes sure that they know he doesn't "do" love. His time with Channing had been different. He still refuses to commit to a future but he found himself treating her differently than anyone else. He frequently reminded her that he doesn't fall in love and is stunned when she finally gives up on them and leaves. When she comes back he gets the brilliant idea of showing her that he's the only man for her but still insists on his unwillingness to love. This time when she leaves he finally starts to realize that maybe there's something to his feelings after all. It took a conversation with one of his brothers for him to realize that his refusal to love was a way to protect himself from a loss like the one when his parent and anunt and uncle died. I wanted to smack him when he got to Channing and announced that he loved her and expected everything to be okay. Really? After months of telling her he doesn't love she's supposed to believe he suddenly loves her? I'm so glad she didn't cave in. I loved watching him grovel and have to do things that showed how he had changed. I love the closeness of the Westmoreland family and how they support each other. I also loved the scene when Zane's sisters tore into him over the way he had treated Channing.I really liked Channing. She was independent and knew what she wanted. She loved Zane and felt like he had feelings for her even though he was still insisting he doesn't. When she finally had enough she moved away. She had to come back for a seminar and pretended an engagement to try to protect herself. When Zane confronted her about it and insisted she was his but still wouldn't promise a future she fled again. She was stunned when he showed up and suddenly started claiming that he loved her. She figured he was just saying it because he still wanted her physically. I loved the fact that she didn't just accept his declaration. I liked the way she slowly began to accept that his love might be real as he opened up to her more about his life and his feelings. There was a brief relapse on her part but the ending was certainly dramatic.

      Zane and Channing are very, very attracted to one another. Channing is in love with Zane. Zane? He claims not to love Channing. He definitely doesn't have marriage on his mind, and he refuses to even use the word love in a sentence. For much of the novel I stayed angry with Zane. I felt he was taking advantage of Channing. He always wanted to make love to her. I felt he was using her. Unfortunately, his touch, his looks just drove Channing around the bend more than a couple of times. She would just melt when he came near her. It's sad how Zane treats Channing. His whole family likes her. His sister Megan tries to talk to Channing as a caring friend even though Zane is her brother. Zane is wonderfully good looking, but stubborn as a bull.This romance novel, ZANE by BRENDA JACKSON takes a hard look at men and their fear of commitment. Really, how in the world does a woman know how to treat such a heavy issue? These men are really and truly afraid of responsibility and are afraid of promising to be true to one woman. Finally, Zane explains where his fears lie. He loses his parents and aunt and uncle all at once in a crash. This makes him afraid to ever give his love away again. I enjoyed the heavy issues in the novel. I must write the physical love becomes very heated and happens many times because of Channing and Zane's weakness for one another. Therefore, the steamy moments are not without reason. When they see one another, both become magnets.The novel takes place in Denver, Colorado and Atlanta. I will never forget the romantic moments like the one where Zane sends Channing not a bouquet of roses but a huge red rose bush. Amazing what men will do to get in our good graces again. Mostly, I liked the idea of Zane having a huge family. I wanted to get to know each one of them. Brenda Jackson also describes a handsome man so well it makes you want to find him at your front door with a picnic basket. She definitely knows how to write romance. brendajackson
