Illustrated by
David Roberts.
"One horrible, NOT NICE day...a new ruler was born." The newly minted big sister describes, in a classic-fairy-tale narrative style, the havoc wreaked by her demanding baby brother. Even better, she draws the story as she sees it, in entertaining childlike illustrations that mirror--and sometimes humorously deviate from--Roberts's stylish watercolor and pen art showing the book's true events.
