[G]etting rid of a baby sibling is a powerful fantasy. Indulging it with this happy-ending tale, softened wiht pastel illustrations and a pig-tailed heroine, can't hurt. --New York Times Book Review While many versions of this familiar storyline are available, it's Dempsey's charming watercolor-and-pen illustrations that set this apart.
