Frog Face: My Little Sister and Me

by John Schindel, Janet Delaney (Photographer)

"First there was just me--
Johanna--just me and Mom
and Dad. Then one day they
said a baby was on the way . . ."

Little Sisters can be a pain. They cry a lot and play with your toys when you don't want them to. But they can also be a lot of fun. They're there when you're lonely, and, sometimes, they share things when you haven't even asked. Maybe having a little sister isn't so bad after all.

This is a special picture book that captures the joys and frustrations of sisterhood in simple words and delightful photographs.

32 pages, Hardcover

This is a great book to read to a child about to get a little sibling. It's all about the ups and downs of being sisters.

[Josie B. · Rating 4 out of 5]

A funny and heart-breaking look at adjusting to a new baby sister. The illustrations are a mix of black and white and color photographs of two sisters, and the text is a truthful look at the happy--and the conflicted moments in their relationship. If I ever used it in storytime, it would be in one advertised and targeted at new big sisters and brothers. "She made funny noises and slept a lot and cried a lot and spit up and pooped and peed a lot...and spent too much time with Mom."

The girl in this book has a sweet mullet. It's pretty cute actually. The story of a losing your only child status, done in phographs.
