I loved this book. Even though this book had one and two words on each page that was said, the manner that it was done was superb. This book teaches the relationship between siblings.

I think before I didn't find this book that good because it didn't have many word...more
It's amazing how much emotion can be expressed with so few words. My kiddos love this book. :)
I thought the book was just OK, but my son loved it.
Read in HarperCollins Treasury of Picture Book Classics: A Child's First Collection.
Probably my least favorite in the treasury, but my daughter loves it.
