Zelda and Ivy

Zelda and Ivy are sisters with a flair for the dramatic. Whether they’re performing a circus act, fashioning their tails in the latest style, or working wonders with “fairy dust, ” their exploits are described with wit and charm in a trio of stories exploring the dynamic between an older and younger sister. Wry and genuine, the linked episodes and rambunctious illustrations will strike home with beginning readers, especially those who’ve experienced the warmth — and occasional wrath — of a sibling’s attention.

Rating: *****

The one sister is horrible to her younger sister and I think that’s the point and in the end she comes around. If you have siblings who aren’t the nicest to each other this is a great book to help discuss siblings and responsibilities and actions.
