About This Book
When you're tired of refereeing sibling squabbles, this book is a perfect reset. It validates the frustration older siblings feel toward their rambunctious younger counterparts while wrapping it all in warmth and humor. This collection of short, episodic chapters follows an older sister as she narrates the many messes and mischiefs of her 'naughty' little sister. The stories normalize feelings of annoyance and anger within a loving family context, reminding children that it's possible to be exasperated with a sibling and still love them deeply. Its gentle, classic tone makes it a comforting and funny read-aloud for ages 6 to 9, great for opening conversations about empathy and family bonds.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is very gentle and contains no major sensitive topics. The primary point of modern consideration is the repeated use of the word 'naughty' to describe the sister. The approach is secular and reflects a traditional, mid-20th-century British family life. The resolution to each mini-conflict is always hopeful and reinforces the security of the family unit.
