Chloe, instead by Micah
Player. 2012. 32 pages. San Francisco, CA: Chronicle Books.
978-0811878654.
Annotation: An older sister yearns for a younger sister just like
her, but is aggravated to the breaking point by the contrary actions of little
sister Chloe.
Reaction: Chloe, instead
shows the frustrations of an oldest child in having to always deal with a
younger sibling, and then feeling bad and wanting to make the younger child
feel better after getting into a fight. The illustrations are bold and playful,
and express the emotions of both the older sister's growing anger, and then the
playfulness of making up with Chloe.
