Customer Reviews

Highly Recommended

This book really helped our two-and-a-half year old bond with her new baby sister...I think she's really looking forward to doing all of the exciting things in the book WITH her new sister. Definitely helped her appreciate the new baby.

David McPhail is a master children's book author/illustrator!

I have two little girls, and I started reading books about sisters to the older one while we were still expecting her little sister. Not only do both girls love this book now, but they can identify with what is happening...they love to cuddle up in my husband's lap as he reads the book to both of them. On a more technical note, the illustrations are delightful and warm, full of the joy of being a little kid exploring the world as well as showing the emotions involved in the relationship that is unique to sisters. This is a special book. The pen and ink drawings are easy for little ones to follow and the energy of the pictures draw you in even more. Can you tell I love this book? I also bought Piggy's Pancake Parlour (daddy makes pancakes every Sunday, so this was a no-brainer to get) and Emma in Charge (our oldest just started preschool).

Very Touching!

It is very touching because the sisters are so close.I don't have a sisters but I don't miss a day theat I don't read the book to my cousins I love it!I would read it every day I would read it every day if i had the chance to. I reccomend this book to sisters who are close or best friends. They're different but they love each other.

Sisterly Love

My two daughters both enjoy this book. It is a sweet tale about two sisters who, although they both don't agree on everything, both agree on the most important thing of all - that they love each other very much! I bought two of these books last year for Christmas for my girls to give eachother and have as keepsakes. I, and they, too, have enjoyed this book immensely.

Simple, Clear and Lovely Message

My two year old daughter loves this book. We have been reading it in preparation for the arrival of our second daughter . The text is simple and straightforward, and the black and white illustrations are plentiful and work well with the text. The overall message of the book is right on: there are differences between sisters and there are some things that they feel the same about, but the bottom line is that they love each other very much.
