What's in a Name?

Sophie? Caitlin? Fiona? Matthew? Cody? Cameron? Zarabella? These are just some of the names given to babies born recently at Greenwich Hospital (source: Greenwich Time, Sunday, October 28, 2007)

One of the most entertaining of book quests is a look for books featuring characters with kids’ very own names (which might be a little tough for Zarabella, but we could try for Arabella, or Zara, or Bella, or even Ella!).

As an example, let’s look at a few picture books with a ‘Sophie’ connection:
WHAT TO DO? WHAT TO DO? (E TEEVI)
THERE’S A DRAGON DOWNSTAIRS (E MCKAY)
DON’T LET THE PEAS TOUCH! (E BLUME)
And there are at least 39 other books in Perrot’s YS collection that have a Sophie as the author or as a featured player!

So what’s in a name?
Maybe a book!
Come pay us a call –
we’ll help you look!
