[Therese Thompson · Rating 3 out of 5]

I’m not sure how this would fly today. I remember reading this to my girls and changing it into a lesson in how to share. But I’m rereading with Parker, and the big Brother seems like a total brat. The little sister seems a miracle in creativity.

Maybe that is the lesson. Ignore the bullies in your life and go your own way.
