Description:
Welcome to the wonderful world of Sophie and Sebastian. These whimsical and delightful stories are sure to delight the whole family. Written in the nonsensical style of A. A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh, every adventure provides clean, family-friendly enjoyment without being preachy or overly moralistic. In each story, Sophie and Sebastian learn something new about our wonderful world. They also make some wonderful and unusual friends, including the old neighbours (Bert and Fran, Mrs. Wilson). In fact, one of the best parts of this podcast is the humorous and meaningful relationships that develop over time. Above all, the "Sophie and Sebastian" stories are a nostalgic and witty celebration of childhood.
