My Review:
Big Sisters is a sweet book about the special bond between sisters by the talented Gordon Jensen. It starts off with the beginning of the oldest and when the youngest comes along - from the mothers tummy to birth. From there the relationship continues to grow into mature adulthood. I thought it was heartwarming to see the unconditional love shown. I loved the rhyming lines that made me smile and, at times, laugh out loud. Even though, I do not have an older or younger sister myself, I still enjoyed it very much. An overall, charming and entertaining book to read.


I loved the illustrations all throughout Big Sisters. The pictures follow along with the printed words on the pages and were visually appealing. I thought they were perfect to add to the book and helpful for the youngest of readers to hold their attention.


I highly recommend Big Sisters for readers between the ages of three and eight years of age, particularly for those who are a bigger sister, or anticipating the arrival of a younger one soon. I believe it would make a great placement on shelves of public libraries, elementary school classrooms, and even at a pediatrician's waiting room. I would love to read more books like this one from Gordon Jensen in the future.


I received a hard cover copy of Gordon Jensen's Big Sisters from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
