Little sister, big big brother, and (mostly) good friends -- Annie and
Simon are back in a second wry and warmhearted early chapter book.
Annie loves to draw and fill sheets of paper with the things she sees
around her. But if Simon has trouble figuring out what her scribbles
show, what's a big brother to do? And when Annie squeezes Hazel the dog
to make her purr, can Simon help it if it sounds more like grumbling?
Hazel is very useful in finding Annie's stolen chestnuts, but it's Simon
who gently persuades his little sister that the bushytailed suspects
might need them back. Whether her problems are big or small, Annie knows
she can count on Simon to help her solve them. When Simon himself starts
to sneeze, Annie finally sees her chance to take on the helper role as
only she can -- with chatty zeal and haphazard determination.
