sibling rivalry

"It's not easy growing up in a house with eleven children and one bathroom. Just as Lincoln, Lori, Leni, Luna, Lynn, Luan, Lucy, Lola, Lana, Lisa, or Lily. With eleven different personalities and interests, and eleven different sets of friends and classes, there may be some sibling rivalry among the Louds. Take Lynn Loud, who makes everything into a competition... How will she handle the art of knitting? With rivalry also comes role models--what happens when Lily has been spending too much time with her rocking sister Luna? Will the toddler be able to dial it up to eleven? And, with oldest sister Lori off at school at Fairway University, her older sister wisdom is only a phone call away for the Louds, but it isn't always that easy to send family straight to voicemail. Plus: Leni becomes a fashion icon! Don't miss out on these adventures and more, with Lincoln, his ten sisters and all their friends. Featuring all-new stories from the talent behind the Emmy Award winning show The Loud house!"--Back cover.

"Tessie has taken ballet for a whole month and thinks she has it down. If it weren't for her big sister, Maya, who seems to own the spotlight, Tessie would dazzle the whole class. But when Maya lands the lead--and the coveted princess crown--in the fall recital, not even freestyle dancing can fully rescue Tessie's spirits. But maybe they each have something to teach and the spotlight is big enough for two? Jaime Kim's author-illustrator debut captures the shifting emotions of competition, sisterhood, and joy in movement"--OCLC.

"Having a good-looking, friendly, outgoing older brother sucks--especially when you're the total opposite, someone who likes staying home and playing video games. Your parents like him better (even if they deny it!), and everyone calls you 'Kyle's little sister' while looking disappointed that you're not more like him. I was really hoping I'd get to go to a different middle school, but no such luck. At least I have my friends--until he finds a way to ruin that, too! Argh! What do I have to do to get out of his shadow?"--Provided by publisher.

"Attending the royal debut party, their one chance to impress the Prince and live up to their cruel and bitter mother's expectations, sisters Drizella and Anastasia get a taste of freedom, pitting them against a mother whose greatest power lies in manipulation"--OCLC.

"A hilarious story about sibling rivalry and a child's impulse to run away from home (and come back again!) When my squawking baby brother arrived, I realized I needed a new family. No one seemed to mind when I packed my bag. I took a box and used my best handwriting to write 'FREE KID', then waited for some new parents to take me home.' Waiting in a box like an abandoned pet and encountering the passersby changes the girl's perspective. At the end of the day, when her parents pretend they need an older sister for their new baby, she is ready to leave her box and go happily back home. In this comical twist on sibling rivalry, a girl decides she needs a new family-so she writes Free Kid on a box and waits in the street for some better parents to choose her. Translated from the Japanese edition, this accessible story is perfect for children starting on independent reading and is illustrated in a graphic comic style that really captures childlike subversive humor. Ideal for fans of Charles Schulz's Peanuts comic strip. A useful book to teach young children about welcoming a new baby sibling to the family, or exploring playful sibling relationships, through funny and lighthearted storytelling"-Provided by the publisher.
