This is a simple book yet full of moral lessons about family and sisterhood. A great book for children and also for young adults. Thank you for this great review.

Latest Review: "America, It Was Just An Idea" by Dr. Rayna M. Gangi

Post by Donnavila Marie01 »

Congratulations for the excellent review. The adult readers can't help but smile and reminisce their growing years with their siblings as they unfold this story of "My Sister, My Friend". For the children readers, this book will help them appreciate their siblings and the relationship that they have. The sibling relationship of Jill and Chris is a perfect story to unfold as it reminds us of the maternal love that we have.

Thanks for the review. It sounds like you were definitely satisfied with the book. I don't have any siblings, but I have 3 kids because I didn't want to have an only child, and I would hope that they think of their siblings more of friends than someone to get something on in order to get them in trouble. I appreciate your rating.

When reading this review, I remembered my old times when my sister always wanted to outsmart me. Wow! In a way, children do not change at all. I'm glad some authors still worry about writing about this important theme such as sisterhood. Thanks for this great review!

You review carried a sentimental value as it relates to sisters. Reading it took me back down memory lane with my sister and I as children. I am so looking forward to reading this book!

This sounds like such a great read for young girls, especially those who are sisters. My sister and I are three years apart. We were always very close, but that three year gap sometimes caused problems at certain stages of our ages. Books like this were always a help to understand and work through any problems. Thanks for your insight!

In the time And age that we are living in, everyone needs a hug. This is a beautiful book for kids. The fact that the book is also about sisterhood makes it a bonus. Good review.

It is odd that there would be more text than illustrations. Kind of cool.
Very nice review!

Definitely was a realistic depiction of life with a sister. And surprisingly not a bad read if you want to make it a month long bedtime story. Reminded me a little bit of The Loud House cartoons.
