Aunt Sophie's Place is a peninsula in northern Minnesota where the eagle's nest, the hummingbirds dance, the lady slippers grow, the ducks eat from your hand, and a big old snapping turtle lives under the dock. Aunt Sophie aids for worms and saints for minnows so she can fish with the lions and the herons. The chipmunks eat out of her pocket, and she gives a special gift of good luck, to catch a really big fish.
