Angela McAllister (Illus. Sophie Fatus), Just Like Sisters

Simon & Schuster, 9780689874802 | Suggested age range: 3-5

When Ally's penfriend arrives for a meeting, the two swear to do everything together - just like sisters. They share photo albums, make-up, shopping, swimming and dancing classes. In fact, they share - everything and find that they have a lot in common. The joke is that Ally is ... not human. The pictures make it clear from the outset but the differences between the two are never mentioned in the text. A cleverly told story celebrating the fact that friendship crosses boundaries.
