Abigail Iris: The One and Only
By Lisa Glatt and Suzanne Greenberg
Illustrated by Joy Allen
Book Description
Readers will fall in love with the adorable Abigail Iris
Abigail Iris would rather be an "Only," like all her best friends, and not have to compete with any siblings for time or attention. So of course Abigail is thrilled when she joins her friend Genevieve and Genevieve's parents on a trip to San Francisco. Amidst all the fun, though, Abigail just might learn while no one has the perfect family, your family will always be perfect for you.
“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
