PreS-Gr 3âOne beautiful day two sisters are sent outside to play. The elder promptly settles down under a tree to read her book. The younger girl wants to play, but her big sister ignores her. After much pestering but with no success, the younger sister attempts reverse psychology, detailing an incredible tree fort that her sister is not invited to play in. Her descriptions become more and more fantastical, with monsters, pirates, whales, and mermaids populating the pages, as she tries to entice her older sibling to play. The conclusion is a fun and greatly satisfying surprise. The text, written from the younger sister's perspective, is clear and appropriately simple, the large font and spacing between sentences making it approachable for beginning readers. The art is whimsical, in a naive style, with charcoal, pencil, and ink drawings colored digitally on a brilliant white background. VERDICT This is a familiar and fun story, and a good resource for children with siblings.âGretchen Crowley, Alexandria City Public Libraries, VA
