Letters+From+Felix



Felix, little Sophie’s cuddly, stuffed rabbit, gets lost in the airport. Sophie is devastated because the two were so close. Soon after she arrives home, she receives letters from Felix. Felix sends letters to home for Sophie as he travels from Paris, Rome, Cairo, Kenya and New York towards home in Ohio. Each letter describes the places and things he learns in each place. Just in time for the holiday season Sophie and Felix are reunited.
