Book Description

Publication Date: March 1987 | Age Level: 3 and up

Rosie speculates about what her life would be like if she ever met her half-sister Diana.


Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 2 A little girl has never seen her half sister Diana, and she wishes that she could share her life with her. Rosie imagines the things they could do if they were together, like brushing each other’s hair or blowing bubble gum bubbles or telling awful jokes. This wistful book, which sacrifices story for bibliotherapy, explores the girl’s hopes that one day they will meet and that her half sister sometimes thinks about her too. The children and the homey scenes in the soft black-and-white pencil illustrations reflect the sensitive quality of the text. This book would be useful along with Simon’s All Kinds of Families (Whitman, 1975) for explaining different kinds of family relationships. It is similar to Schuchman’s Two Places to Sleep (Carolrhoda, 1979) and Stinson’s Mom and Dad Don’t Live Together Anymore (Annick, 1984; o.p.) in that the child’s viewpoint is expressed in a natural way.

Read Aloud with Crescent and Mark

NOT A LITTLE MONKEY, by Charlotte Zolotow, illustrted by Michelle Chessaree

"So, the little girl climbed into the big waste-basket and waited." ' Oh no,' said her mother, ' we don't want to throw you away.'"There are many ways to express love and the need for attention. Here, a busy mother and her just-a-bit naughty little girl tease each other affectionately — the little girl making her point without even uttering a word.That's today's story time — read aloud by the author's daughter at Crescent Dragonwagon's Writing, Cooking, & Workshops, with Mark Graff's "text support" and discussion."Just right for two-to-fours, the humor of this true-to-life story of a mischievous little girl who blocks her mother's attempts to clean house will elicit giggles from the lollipop set." Kirkus Reviews
