Having a little sister isn't always a picnic. Older sisters may feel jealous of the time taken away from them, the toys they have to share, and the attention focused on the youngest member of their family. Getting along is often a day-to-day battle, but what can parents do to make this situation easier and to help children realize how special it is to have a sister? In Spice & Little Sugar, the delightful new children's book about sibling rivalry, authors Megan Waldrep and Melissa Nelson show big sisters the big benefits, responsibilities, and absolute joys of their role. Told in a whimsical rhyme that children will love to read aloud, Spice & Little Sugar first humorously relates all the ways Little Sugar gets on Spice's nerves, from grabbing her favorite toys to sticking to her like glue when Spice wants to be left alone. But gradually Spice comes to realize that Little Sugar does have her good points, including sticking up for her when she gets in trouble with their parents and saving the day with her cute face. Parents will love the warm, gentle lessons the book teaches about understanding how positives can outweigh negatives, and kids will laugh at the playful illustrations and funny story. The perfect book for siblings, Spice & Little Sugar can be read and enjoyed by the whole family, time and time again.
