Review

For the first time ever, a brother has been asked to walk his little sister home from the bus stop. He takes this seriously and is surprised by how difficult this feat is to accomplish. His little sister picks up lots of gross stuff, she misses her teddy bear, she needs a bathroom, she chases a huge dog, she is afraid of the squirrels and she falls into a mud puddle and then a thunderstorm erupts. Will they ever get home? This is a lovely story about siblings taking care of one another and learning to appreciate one another. The illustrations are simple and adorable, using lots of white space and complementing the text nicely. This is a good choice for celebrating siblings and their special relationships.

Overall Book Score: good
