Customer Reviews

Wonderful!

This is a wonderful book that crosses all boundaries! It is enlightening that the two sisters are of different species, thus clearing the way for discussion in families of any kind. Lucy appears to be, however, a rat (look at the size difference and shape compared to Estelle), which opens the door to political views for all ages.

This is a wonderful book!

The illustrations in this book are wonderfully homey and old-fashioned. I love the fact that a mouse and a kitten can be siblings! This book is just adorable. Buy it for everyone you know!

A beautifully drawn and heart-warming tale of sisterly love!

What a refreshing and fun story! Ms. Alter's illustrations are drawn with such gentle detail, and our new furry friends Estelle and Lucy couldn't be more adorable and true. The warmth of their cozy kitchen is enough to make you feel right at home, like you could pull up a seat at the table and join in for some raspberry biscuits. I highly recommend this book to anyone with young children!
