About This Book

Milli wanted to do everything that her big brother, Monty, did. But Monty got tired of Milli getting in his way, and so he wished she would turn into a warty toad--that is, until he thought that she actually did. The joys and hassles of having a younger sibling come to full life in this brightly and energetically illustrated book. With a touch of sparkle whenever real magic occurs, this book will bring enchantment to storytime.
