Review

In this third book of the series sister Annie and brother Simon once again get into some sibling disagreements. The book starts with them baking muffins and disagreeing on whether or not there needs to be chocolate chips in the batter. As they try to entertain the baby from next door, Annie comes across some of her old baby things and decides she wants to play with them too - Simon tries to tell Annie that she is way too old for a pacifier, or a rattle! This too leads to a disagreement. In the end though they have enjoyed the muffins together gotten baby Theo to take a nap and Annie comes to see that she really doesn't need her baby things any more and that she has a pretty great big brother!

Overall Book Score: good
