Book Evaluation:

1) I would recommend this book to my class because it teaches a valuable lesson, especially to the younger children. This would be a great book to any students who have siblings.

2) I would recommend this book in the grade level of Pre-Kinder to Kindergartners.

3) I would include this book in the unit of Writing. I would have them write about a time they had a similar experience as these sisters.
