Queen of the World

By Thomas F. Yezerski

What Momreallywants for her birthday Three sisters who have nothing in common but the room that they share are bound to argue. And they do--abouteverything. To settle, once and for all, which sister is the Queen of the World, they have a contest: whoever makes Mom the best birthday present wins. But things don't work out as they'd planned, and instead they end up making their mom cry -- on herbirthday.They feel awful, until they figure out that what mom would really like is something that the three of them have to work on together -- getting along, that is. In this humorous story with delightful pictures of sibling rivalry in action, Thomas F. Yezerski shows that if you're family, you always have something important in common.

Customer Reviews

Love this book!

I have 3 daughters, like the family in this book. This book is a realistic look at a 3-girl-family. It's also a good reminder for kids to not take their parents for granted, but it does it in a gentle way; it doesn't hit you over the head. It also shows how to think about others before yourself. My kids and I adore this book.

A tender story about very real siblings

I loved this book! The kids are so real, the parents' reactions are right on the money and the illustrations are warm and cozy. It's true-to-life and reassuring. Share it with a young person you love.

Real world sisters!

FINALLY! A book about sisters that doesn't sugar-coat reality! This book is endearing as it strikes a chord for anyone who has really lived life with a sibling. While being true to real life sisterhood, the book still gives a wonderful lesson about life. The illustrations further enhance the book with details that will remind almost anyone of some memorable instance in their own life. This book will be a classic!
