Princess Penelope Takes Charge

This was given to my daughter when she became a big sister, and it was an instant hit - and almost two years later, we still read it frequently. It has become our go-to gift for little girls becoming big sisters. :)

Every little girl is a princess. And every princess who becomes a big sister will be required to share the throne with the new arrival. And that can be difficult. Penelope is a happy princess who has almost everything. What she doesn't have and what she wants most is to be a big sister. When Penelope is told that her mommy is going to have a baby, she is thrilled. But when the baby arrives there are many surprises for Penelope. She's not so sure that being a big sister is a good thing. Perhaps time will change her mind. Princess Penelope Takes Charge is a wonderful book to help children adjust to and embrace the arrival of a new child in the family. The illustrations are quirky, fun and capture the essence of the story. Armchair Interviews says: Princess Penelope Takes Charge is a must-have addition to any child's library as they await the new arrival. This book is for ages 3-5.
