A new baby brother who looks like a potato has joined the family and is taking up all of the mother's attention. The older sister decides to run away and find a new, more attentive family. She sits in a box labeled FREE KID and fantasizes about having the perfect parents, home and friends. In time, a stray dog, cat and turtle join her in the box, hoping to find their ideal homes, too. An amusing and practical-minded story for every young child who's felt alienated by a new sibling's presence.

Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.

I don’t know if this galley is purposely missing most of the illustrations or not but I’m not impressed. The thing about a picture book is it needs the pictures to help tell the story, so reading the story without pictures is very lacking. There’s no movement just a plethora of words dumped on the page. Without the pictures to help move the story along this is boring and uninteresting.
