Specially Sarah

There seems to be a plethora of books about small children of just school age at present: this one features a young miss who certainly knows her own mind as we see from the eight domestic episodes - a first party, a new baby, a supermarket excursion, a lost tooth - related in a straightforward style. As the episodes unfold Sarah becomes reconciled with her new status in the family, deciding that 'Big girls are best...' Enhanced by Joanna Carey's line drawings this is a pleasant comfortable book to share with those of around Sarah's age or for early fluent readers to tackle themselves.
