Little Bro, Big Sis (A Flip-Me-Over Book) by Rocio Bonilla - ESSENTIAL

Little Bro, Big Sis (A Flip-Me-Over Book) by Rocio Bonilla. PICTURE BOOK. Charlesbridge, 2019. $17. 9781623541095.

BUYING ADVISORY: EL(K-3) - ESSENTIAL

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

A little brother and big sister seemingly can't stand each other. Each gets a turn to offer their perspective (flip the book over to hear the other one's side) on the terrible sibling they've got, but in explaining it they also have to admit there are some great things about their brother/sister, too. They meet in the middle of the book to express the exact same concern and bewilderment about the new baby sibling who has arrived--"Now what?!"

I. Loved. This. Book. Anybody with a sibling or any parent with multiple kids can appreciate the ups and downs of sibling rivalry and love. The illustrations are fantastic and I found myself grinning and laughing and even sighing with happiness as I read it. This is a definite winner and one I can't wait to share with friends and family.
