By Lisa Glatt and Suzanne Greenberg
Illustrated by Joy Allen
Book Description
Readers of all kinds will fall in love with the precocious, adorable Abigail Iris!
Abigail Iris is sick of being One-of-Many-brothers and sisters, that is. She'd rather be an Only, like all her best friends, and not have to compete with siblings for time or attention. So Abigail is thrilled when she joins her friend Genevieve's family on a trip to San Francisco. She gets to stay in a fancy hotel, visit Chinatown, order room service-and she doesn't have to share anything with her pesky older siblings! Amid all the fun, though, Abigail discovers that having a set of parents to yourself might be nice some of the time, it just isn't right for Abigail all of the
time. An adorable story for Onlies and One-of-Many alike starring a one-of-a-kind new character!
“Chapter-book readers who have recently outgrown the Junie B. Jones series will find this an engaging choice.”— Booklist
“Glatt and Greenberg are spot-on in their observations." ―PW
“With Allen’s periodic homespun sketches and a breezy first-person text, this sweet slip of a story is recommended for those girls feeling the squeeze of a crowded and blended family.” ―Kirkus Reviews
“Abigail Iris is a highly likeable character. “Onlies” and kids with sibs will root for Abigail Iris, and while middle-graders will undoubtedly enjoy this on their own, it would also make a splendid parent-child readaloud choice.”—BCCB
