[Peter Grundberg · Rating 4 out of 5]

A charming slightly old-fashioned book (a lucky find in a secondhand book truck) and definitely worth a read. Charming albeit rather sad little story that warns against favouring one small child at the expense of paying attention to the silent and unnoticed tribulations of the other (sibling).
