Sophie's Snail
by Dick King-Smith
Published in 1988 by Walker Books (UK) and Candlewick Press (USA)
The first edition of Sophie's Snail had been charmingly illustrated by Claire Minter-Kemp. However, after I had illustrated the second book in the series, Sophie's Tom, I was asked to do some illustrations for this book to make the set more of a piece. I went on to illustrate all six of the Sophie Books.
