review 1: In this fun story about a brother and sister, younger sister Mia wants to play with big brother Spencer. But Spencer is way too busy to do anything with Mia. So Mia started doing her own thing…which was adding a large dose of imagination to everything she did. Eventually Spencer realized just how fun Mia could be and soon they were busy together. This is seriously one of the sweetest books about how to get along without being preachy about it. Not to say that Mia and Spencer didn’t get along before, but Spencer just was too busy to want to play with Mia. When Mia went and made everything she did extra fun, then Spencer wanted to play with her. I think loads of siblings will like the idea that they can find a way to play together and have their own adventures, even if w... morehat happens in the book will more likely be the exception rather than the rule. But the grown-ups who read the book to the youngsters can dream, eh?
review 2: In a set-up common to all big-sibling/little-sibling conflict, Mia is ignored by her older brother when she wants to play. Nothing daunted, she plays on her own and has grand adventures of all kinds. She's having so much fun that Spencer is drawn right into her world, no manipulation or whining required.My favorite bits about this book include the bold and exciting illustrations, and that Mia is shown playing in many different ways.While the story is translatable to all kinds of siblings, it will be especially special for big brothers with little sisters. less
