From time to time siblings can be very annoying. In this cute tale one older sister seems to say “Quit it” a lot to her younger sister. Little sister Kit beats her drum in the car. Kit never seems to sit still. Kit also gets into her sisters dance outfit and interrupts her during practice. She tears her sister’s drawings and eats her apple slices. Kit just won’t quit. When Kit’s sister gives her a taste of her own medicine will the pair ever quit?
