First sentence: Um...hello? Hi, kids! It's me, the illustrator! Hmm, it looks like the author has fallen asleep. So...I'll just tell you a story.
Premise/plot: When the author, "Ima Snoozen" falls asleep, the illustrator, Maddie Frost takes over writing the story. Her story stars two sisters--a llama princess and a penguin princess. The penguin princess tires of her older sister being the older sister...so when she sees a shooting star she makes a terrible, horrible wish. She wishes that her sister would go far, far, far away--all the way to the moon. Will Penguin Princess miss her older sister? Is there a way to get her back? And what will happen if/when the author awakes to find *her* book in such a mess?
My thoughts: I enjoyed this one. It was over-the-top silly. But while much is silly in this one, I think the feelings are all too easy to relate to for little ones--and sometimes grown-ups.
