Sofia lies in bed at night and whatever she imagines becomes real. Tonight she imagines that she is a pirate. She swings aboard a ship and fights the captain to take control of the ship. She steers the ship all the way to the end of the world. A huge sea monster tries to eat her, but she conquers him by staring into his eyes. When he leaves, he stirs up huge waves that capsize the boat. A mermaid saves her, takes her to an island, and gives her a treasure map. How will Sofia get home safe?
Captain Sofia is a fun sound book with a button to push on each page. There are 11 classical music fragments by Beethoven woven into the narrative. Children will enjoy this lovely interactive picture book.
