With simple yet spunky text and distinctive illustrations, this book relates Mummy's heroic but doomed efforts to make everything perfectly fair among three sisters. Nevertheless, one sister is sure to cry out, "Why am I always last?" Italian artist Montanari pictures her snaggle-toothed, troll-like family from all angles. A fresh treatment of a perennial situation.
