"I actually had my own Sophie as a baby and every baby in our family has had one of their own thanks to our French roots. Both my girls have their own and I always give Sophie out for baby gifts.
I have never come across a baby who hasn't grown attached to their Sophie. This simple toy satisfies all five senses: contrasting colors and an identifiable face; a squeaky sound to attract attention; ears, horns, and legs (even nose and neck) to chew on; soft, smooth, and flexible for little fingers; even a distinctive (pleseant) smell! This toy will be around at least another 60 years. I recommend this to every mother!"
