Sam's New Sister: A Sidesplitting Spin on Sibling Rivalry, Jealousy, and Big Brother Emotions for Kids 4-8 -- Michelle Olson, Hardcover

Will Sam's jealousy prevent him from accepting his new little sister as anything but trouble?

Life in the craft box just hasn't been the same since Sam's new sister arrived. The other buttons only seem to notice Maggie, and Sam is feeling invisible. They don't watch his fancy scooter tricks or look at his new artwork. They're even mad that he refused to share his favorite toy with her. Running away sounds scary, but it's the only way to escape her... unless, of course, she follows him.

For those who enjoyed I Used to Be Famous, The New Small Person, and Lulu and Zoey: A Sister Story, this funny spin on sibling rivalry will have your kids captivated.

A cleverly told tale on a familiar theme. -Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
