The Blurb On The Back:
Amazing sisters are everywhere!
Some sisters are twirly.
Some are whirly.
Some are brand new …
And some NEED THE LOO!
Every sister is different.
But when you need a helping had or a great big hug …
They’ll always be therefor you!
There are loads of different types of sisters in the world. Twirly ones, whirly ones, brand new ones and sleepy ones. But when you need a friend, your sister will always be there for you.
Alison Brown’s picture book (part of a series about family members) is a cute affair that celebrates the different kind of sisters you can have and your relationship with them. The rhyming is a bit twee in parts but I enjoyed the illustrations, which have energy and humour to them. If you are looking for a gift for a young sister or young sister to be, then I would definitely suggest this.
This is a straightforward look at different types of sisters and the rhymes are solid if a bit predictable and twee. Where the book does work well is with the illustrations. I enjoyed the different types of animals depicted here and their relationships with each other - my favourite being the squabbling badgers, but the perturbed bunny meeting her baby sister for the first time was a very close second. There is a lot of energy and humour to the illustrations and each animal has a lot of personality in their face.
Ultimately, this is a solidly done picture book that would be a good gift if you have a young reader who is a sister or about to become one.
The Verdict:
