picture book (cooking, younger siblings; preschool ages 3 and up)
action-packed and funny; this would make a great read-aloud. Pictures are bright and appealing; you do need to see them to get the whole story (as when Elliebelly's dolls join the show, or when one of the dolls takes a bath in the batter), so not for dial-a-story, but definitely a crowd-pleaser for group (or one-on-one) readalouds.

5 year old Henry and his 2 year old sister Eleanor, better known as Elliebelly, have a treat for you. Today on their cooking show they’re going to make raspberry-marshmallow-peanut butter waffles. Henry does his best to keep the show on track, even though Elliebelly insists that they wear pirate hats and that her dolls need to go swimming in the batter. Finally, after a theme song, a commercial ("Buy some pudding!"), lots of sibling negotiating, and even a bit of pretend cooking, brother and sister troop to the kitchen for some real mom-made waffles.

This is one of my favorite books about siblings because even though Henry and Elliebelly have disagreements they learn to compromise and negotiate without resorting to name calling or other negative behaviors. Although Henry is often exasperated by his sister, he never tries to exclude her.
