I Want A Sister

Ross's Little Princess is back, with the eccentric royal family and friends that we already know from I Want My Potty, I Want to Be and I Want My Dinner. The Queen announces she is pregnant and the Little Princess is as foot-stampingly incorrigible as ever in coming to terms with the idea of the new baby. Perhaps they all know something she does not about the gender of the new royal scion, for they do their best to convince her that brothers can be just as much fun as sisters. This is a gentle lesson in sexual equality for pre-school children, full of Ross's brilliant touches of characterisation and silliness. There are golden crowns on the Princess's knickers and the plastic dustbin: and a separate little drama going on at the foot of the page as the household cats decide they can't face another baby like the Little Princess.
