Sophie Peterman Tells The Truth! (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
I greatly disliked this book, and stopped reading it after a few pages because I didn't want to introduce some of these unkind thoughts to my daughter. I skipped ahead to the end, and sure enough, Sophie does start to like her little brother. Perhaps it would be a good book for a sibling who is struggling to appreciate a younger sibling, but as it is I don't need a book that, for instance, acts like breastfeeding is gross. I thought the book was absolutely hysterical, so did the kids, ages 6, 6 & 4...our 2 year old laughed because we all were laughing! Despite what others may say, all 3 of the girls understood the book & related to it in many ways.....and they absolutely ADORE each other, and adore their baby sister who just turned 1.As long as parents read it with their kids and they can laugh & relate, I think it's fantastic that someone DID tell the truth about what kids may be thinking inside, and this brings it "outside" where they can relate and then giggle about it! KUDOS to this book!
