Absolutely adorable & shows how a family is made
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
"Once upon a time ago there lived a dog named Fabio ... ". I was literally enthralled with this book from the time I read the first line. The topic was light but in my household both of my children are adopted and this discussed similar issues albeit with dogs. How a 'sister' is brought into the household, the older 'brother' doesn't like her, and how they become a family when others tease Gracie.
Superb Children's Book

The author has hit a home-run with her brilliant children's book, 'My Sister Gracie'. The book is original, funny and touching. My twin four year-olds love it - we must have read it to them 50 times by now. Highly recommended for young children (and adults!). And oh yes, the illustrations, also by the author are superb.

This delightful story about a dog named Fabio who wants a new brother to play with. His owners agree but much to Fabio's dismay they bring home an overweight beagle-basset named Gracie instead of the frisky brother he was hoping for. Initially Fabio does everything he can to get rid of Gracie, but when the other dogs make fun of her he comes to her defence and realizes he really does love her. The story is written in verse and is best appreciated when read aloud. The illustrations are wonderful and bring the text to life. A great book for all kids, especially those with new siblings.
