Summary: In this book, Peter realizes his little baby sister is going to get all of his things. His parents are painting his chair and other possessions pink, and he’s upset.

He decides to stay, too, and helps his parents get things ready for his new sister, Susie.

Review: This is one of my all-time favorite books. There are so many great examples of narrative writing techniques. It makes for a great mentor text when teaching how to write personal narratives. I want to read all of Ezra Jack Keats’s books!
