  Nobody, perhaps, can push a big sister's buttons better than her little sister, and that's certainly true for Molly. Sharing a house with toddler Chloe is proving impossible: when Molly practices the piano, Chloe bangs on the keys; when Molly draws with crayons, Chloe eats them; while Molly reads books, Chloe tears out their pages. After Molly has a total meltdown directed at her sister, she's sorry and invites her to "Dance, Chloe! Fast! Slow! High! Low!" Turns out it's lucky that Molly didn't get "a little sister who was just like me," because she got someone better instead. Player's text doesn't break new ground in depicting the sibling dynamic, but his bold, digitally rendered retro-style art—featuring two enormously iris-eyed, pupil-less children—may appeal to girls, in particular. Pair this with LeUyen Pham's Big Sister, Little Sister (2005) and Robie H. Harris' Mail Harry to the Moon (2008) for additional tales highlighting the unique relationship between bigs and littles.
