*We received a copy of Zoe’s Room (No Sisters Allowed) to facilitate this review.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.*

I love reading with my child.  Oh, my Paige – she’s really something!  She can take a story and make it her world.  That’s exactly what happened after we read Zoe’s Room (No Sisters Allowed) by Bethanie Deeney Murguia.  Okay, it’s true Paige will never have a little sister but that didn’t stop her from pretending and enjoying the story!

About the book:

Zoe is the Queen of the whole Universe … but her favorite place in the Universe is her own room, where she hosts tea parties, builds empires out of blocks, and gazes out upon the stars.

 Then her parents announce that her little sister Addie is moving in to Zoe’s room. Little sisters aren’t good at tea parties (too rude), block-building (too clumsy), and starwatching (just plain too young!). So the Queen’s new roommate is a royal pain . . . until Zoe discovers that even her smallest subjects can be useful in a storm!

It’s a charming story, geared for 3-5 year old children.

Feel free to download the activity sheets 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

*WIN* One lucky Seeryus Mama Reader will win a Zoe’s Room Prize Pack as pictured below!
