Maggie is a little sister, and she drives her older sister crazy!

Maggie doesn’t help her older sister to tidy up and she won’t let her older sister be the princess at playtime either. She steals her older sister’s big two-wheeler bike and even scribbles over her older sister’s drawings. Maggie is definitely not like other sisters.

But beneath it all, Maggie is brave and caring. She makes her older sister laugh when she’s scared and consoles her when she’s sad. In her own quirky way, Maggie shows her older sister just how much she loves her and why she is, indeed, not like other sisters.

REVIEWS

"My 2 girls love this book - its given the older one a whole new perspective on how she sees her little sister (whos started whispering to her every night "I love you, lots and lots and lots and lots"). Really good for older siblings who may feel frustrated by their younger ones and for the little ones to help explain why sometimes they cant get their own way. And its a lot of fun to boot!" (Nick.Petit, Australia)

"Heart warming story with lots of easy interaction and beautiful animation. My niece loves it!" (Juicerap, USA)

"A great app! Fun, intuitive and heart-warming, I wish there were more books like these in the app store! Looking forward to more apps from you guys!" (Tiger19934, New Zealand)
