This sentimental photo-essay alternately depicts four sets of sisters engaged in activities such as running in the woods, picking pumpkins, reading, doing homework, practicing the violin, and making sand angels at the beach. The girls are also shown sharing food, brushing teeth, bathing, and braiding hair. The eye-catching photographs capture moments of energy, creativity, and affection. The book has a formal layout with identically sized photos and rather uninspired rhyming captions: "Big Sister loves to comb and braid my hair./Little Sister skips with me. We make a springy pair!" Occasional words are cleverly illustrated in the context of the sentence and highlighted in colored type: "skips" is written as though the green letters are jumping, and "springy" is bouncing on a spring. The endpapers show all of the pajama-clad siblings piled in one bed on one side and dancing together in dress-up clothes on the other. Overall, the text functions primarily as captions for the pictures. Although this title might have appeal in some family situations, it is not particularly memorable.
