Dolores and her big sister, Faye, get along swell...most of the time. However, after Dolores sneaks into Faye's room one too many times, they have an argument. Dolores agrees to stay out of her sister's room, but when she spies Faye with a small box, curiosity gets the better of her. After all, one small peek won't hurt, will it?

Inside the box Dolores discovers an adorable Valentine's Day present. She simply must try it on, and Faye will be none the wiser. Dolores almost gets away with it until the present goes missing. Whatever will Dolores do? Valentine's Day just around the corner. With her cat, Duncan, and a little bit of luck, Dolores still has time to make it the best Valentine's Day ever.

The Bottom Line: This charming tale of sibling rivalry makes this holiday book special. Perfect for storytime or bedtime, kids will identify with both the big sister and the little sister. Humorous illustrations complement the story. This installment of Dolores and Duncan is fun reading for kids in grades K - 3.

Long, for an older crowd-Dolores is always looking in her sisters room, snooping and borrowing. She finds a neato frog necklace that plays music, she decides to borrow it, then loses it, then has to replace it. The sister had bought as a special Valentine's present for Dolores, but now she has two and a present for herself. ( )

This book is great to read on Valentine's Day. Happy Valentine's Day, Delores is about a little girl who always takes stuff from her older sister. Delores takes a necklace from her older sister and ends up losing it. This is a good story to read to children with siblings or just for fun.

Great Story! A story about two sisters. One sister loved to get into her older sisters things. So when (Dolores) took a frog necklace from (Faye) she ended up loosing it. So she buys her sister another one. Turns out Faye finds the necklace that was lost and picks up on Dolores. The necklace turns out to be for Dolores anyway so they both treat each other with the same necklace at the end. ( )

This book is about a little girl who "borrowed" something from her sister. Anyone with a sibiling can relate to this story. This book made me laugh thinking about me and my sister at that age, I probably would have done the same thing. The moral of this story was to ask before borrowing something, you never know what can happen. ( )
