One of Three

A little girl with two sisters who she does practically everything with - except she is the youngest and sometimes is excluded from her sisters. At times when she is excluded, she gets to spend time with her mother and father making a different kind of trio. It can be hard to be excluded especially from siblings and Johnson points out that even when siblings exclude you your parents will always be there for you. She can take comfort in her parents and realize that she gets one on one time with her parents which is special for her. A nice way of pointing out that there are always two ways to look at a situation.

I did like this book a lot because it shows that you will not always be included in everything, and that is just fine. At first, it may seem like it is no fun to be left out, but there is always something else to do, even with other people. I would read this story to a classroom because I think that they could relate that to some of their friends at school.

Three sisters do everything together and are best friends. One time, the two older girls go on without their youngest sister who feels left out but in the end she gets to spend time with just her mom and dad. I think this book is perfect to use in a family unit because most students have siblings and can relate to the story.

Read alone; mostly practices reading
