Descripción Softcover. Condición: Good. Schmidt, Karen Ilustrador. First Edition. Product Description Through a series of letters to her dad, a jealous Eloise describes her new sister to her father who is living overseas for several months, but the tone of the letters change as she learns to love and accept the new edition to the family. Simultaneous. From School Library Journal Grade 3-4?Eloise Trombly has a new baby sister named Mary Alice who, she thinks, looks like a sausage roll. Their father, who is away on business, has yet to see his new daughter, but Eloise keeps him informed through letters detailing her activities and by sending "real" pictures, not like the fake ones her mother has taken by a photographer. Eloise attempts to introduce Mary Alice to their father by holding a photograph of him close to the infant's face and by telling her some facts about him. When Dad finally comes home and meets Mary Alice, the family sees that it will take a little while for the baby to get used to having a real live father instead of just a photograph. The author portrays the feelings of the main character in a truthful, sometimes endearing way. The letters between father and daughter are fresh and funny. The depiction of a close-knit family, albeit one with a father who is often absent, shows readers that a family may be different in some ways but can still share a loving, caring relationship. Children will enjoy this story, especially those who have had experiences with new siblings. The black-and-white sketches capture important moments. A few puzzles, mazes, and other games related to the story encourage children to write in the book.?Carrie A. Guarria, Lindenhurst Memorial Library, NYCopyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.
