In Clemmy Gets a Sister by Caroline Crocker, Clemmy, the English Bulldog, loved being the center of her humans’ attention. A duck with a duckling following her waddled through the yard, through the house, and to the swimming pool. When the mother duck waddled away, she left her duckling alone in the pool. Clemmy’s humans take good care of Peep, the duckling, much to Clemmy’s displeasure. Peep quickly became part of the family and seemed to get more attention than Clemmy liked. How long would Peep be around? How many time-outs would Clemmy get for chasing the duckling around the house? How would Clemmy fare if Peep wasn’t there anymore?
I thoroughly enjoyed Clemmy Gets a Sister! This adorable story gives an amazing view of what introducing a new pet into the family looks like, no matter how temporary or permanent the stay is. The way Caroline Crocker conveys Clemmy's ideas and responses makes this picture book very hard to put down, even for an adult! I love how Clemmy can’t seem to decide if the addition of Peep is good or bad for her relationship with her humans. The pictures of Clemmy and Peep in such natural settings add extra fun and flair to the story. I recommend Clemmy Gets A Sister to young children who love a realistic tale of how animals interact and enjoy an interesting point of view. Crocker is an amazing writer who will undoubtedly keep kids entertained for many years to come!
