Ben and Sophie Series Say Hello Dragon Fort Pirate Ship

Back to Mini Stories

Ben and Sophie Say Hello   by Tim Seston Version 1 “My name is Sophie.  That’s Ben over there. We’ve come with a friend who has stories to share. That’s Tim in the middle.  Go on and say hi.” "Hi" “You can do better Tim.  Don’t be so shy.” Tim’s come here today to put on a show And tell you the stories of friends that he knows So sit back, relax, and have a good time And if you can guess, he does them in rhyme. Version 2 “Hi, my name is Ben, it’s great to meet you That’s Sophie my twin.  She thinks the same too The guy in the middle, we hope you like him. We think he’s real nice, say hi to them Tim” “Hi” “Tim likes to meet friends and spend lots of time Telling the stories he’s written in rhyme He sure is real lucky to be here today To perform and pretend, sing, laugh and play.”

The real Ben and Sophie are friends of Tim and Charlie.  Tim wanted to write a story about two kids working together and thought it would be a lot of fun for my main characters to be twins - one boy and one girl.  So, Tim contacted Ben and Sophie's mom and asked her a few questions about what the real Ben and Sophie enjoyed doing. Ben and Sophie's Fort was his first of the series.  Then came the dragon and the pirate ship.  Tim is currently working on another. Ben and Sophie Say Hello came about after another friend made Sophie and Ben puppets.  It just seemed appropriate that they introduce some of Tim's shows.
