My two year old daughter loves this book. We have been reading it in preparation for the arrival of our second daughter . The text is simple and straightforward, and the black and white illustrations are plentiful and work well with the text. The overall message of the book is right on: there are differences between sisters and there are some things that they feel the same about, but the bottom line is that they love each other very much.

My two daughters both enjoy this book. It is a sweet tale about two sisters who, although they both don't agree on everything, both agree on the most important thing of all - that they love each other very much! I bought two of these books last year for Christmas for my girls to give eachother and have as keepsakes. I, and they, too, have enjoyed this book immensely.

It is very touching because the sisters are so close.I don't have a sisters but I don't miss a day theat I don't read the book to my cousins I love it!I would read it every day I would read it every day if i had the chance to. I reccomend this book to sisters who are close or best friends. They're different but they love each other.

I have two little girls, and I started reading books about sisters to the older one while we were still expecting her little sister. Not only do both girls love this book now, but they can identify with what is happening...they love to cuddle up in my husband's lap as he reads the book to both of them.

On a more technical note, the illustrations are delightful and warm, full of the joy of being a little kid exploring the world as well as showing the emotions involved in the relationship that is unique to sisters. This is a special book. The pen and ink drawings are easy for little ones to follow and the energy of the pictures draw you in even more.

Can you tell I love this book? I also bought Piggy's Pancake Parlour (daddy makes pancakes every Sunday, so this was a no-brainer to get) and Emma in Charge (our oldest just started preschool).

Sisters is a very delightful book. I got them for my grandaughters,ages 6-11 yr. who share many of the characteristics portrayed. It was well received by all. Realistically, entertainingly written. Great book.

Cute book about sisters! Has a bit more text than most board books which is nice. I wasn't crazy about the illustrations but I enjoyed reading it with my daughters (5 and 2 mo.). They both like it and my older daughter likes to compare the things the girls in the book do with what she likes to do.

Two sisters, each very different from one another and yet, very similar in other ways. But despite their differences and similarities, there is one thing about these sisters that is very special and makes them most alike of all, and that is "they loved each other so very much."
Filled with warmth, love, and the joys of sisterhood, this selection is pure delight.

This book really helped our two-and-a-half year old bond with her new baby sister...I think she's really looking forward to doing all of the exciting things in the book WITH her new sister. Definitely helped her appreciate the new baby.

My sister bought me this book when I was 20 and she was 16. Now I read it to my 2 year old, who has a new baby sister. The two year old loves hearing about the things sisters have in commona and the things they don't.
