Maia and her best friend, who happens to be a monster,
are both becoming big sisters. This is NOT good news!
When Mom tells Maia their new baby will be her best
friend, Maia is skeptical.
Then Maia’s baby and Monster’s baby are born.
Though they gurgle, growl, scream, and spit, they eventually
win their way into their big sisters’ hearts. Nonetheless,
Maia and the Monster agree: “WE are the
friends. THEY are the babies.”

Elizabeth Winthrop is the author of over 40 books for children, from picture books to YA novels, including her Clarion titles, THE LITTLE HUMPBACKED HORSE and AS THE CROW FLIES. Her book for Holiday House, CASTLE IN THE ATTIC, received many awards. VASILISSA THE BEAUTIFUL (HarperCollins) was on the IRA Teacher's Choice and Children's Choice lists.
PreS-K-Bespectacled Maia and her best friend, a furry purple monster who visits at night, have the same problem-cranky newborn sisters. Fortunately, Maia amuses Monster's baby and vice versa, so the quartet end up with smiles. Haley's acrylic and colored pencil cartoon-style illustrations are full of expression and detail and boost the tale. Maia's side of the bedroom has a dragon poster and Halloween mobile; her sister's has mermaids and fairies. The older monster is girlie and the monster baby wears four pink bows. Girls with new siblings will especially appreciate this friendship story.-Gay Lynn Van Vleck, Henrico County Library, Glen Allen, VAα(c) Copyright 2011.
