No dessert forever!

I absolute adore this book! This book begins with no text. A little girl is playing with her doll and her little brother sneaks up on her and scares her. She accidentally knocks over a lamp and her mother comes in from the other room to scold her. She gets upset because it is not her fault and she is the one to get into trouble. This is an all to common and familiar situation. So the story goes on to show that the little girl starts to treat her doll like her child and scolds her just like her mother has scolded her before. I really like that the text is in voice bubbles too. As the story continues the doll gets smaller and the little girl gets bigger. The one picture that is also used for the cover is the little girl yelling so loud at the doll that all the toys are blowing away. Then the mother sees the little brother coming back to scare the girl again but the mother catches him this time. Now the mother scolds the little boy and the little girl becomes happy. She tells her doll that she will never get mad at her again. The closing page is the little girl hold her mother's hand walking out of the living room. I absolute think this story is great. The illustrations are water-painted and they make the story. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a good book to read. The overall idea of the book is great and I enjoyed this book a lot.
