Molly always dreamed of having a sister who is just like her. But she got Chloe, instead. These two sisters are nothing alike: Molly loves to color with crayons. Chloe prefers the taste of wax. Molly loves to read. Chloe prefers to nibble a book's spine. Molly is frustrated! But then she realizes that maybe sisters aren't the ones next to you on the piano bench, they're the ones dancing to the music you play! This humorous, perceptive snapshot of sibling love is perfect for those who may need a bit of convincing what fun little siblings can be!

Our Chloe and Every Chloe!
Jun 20 2012
By J. Haller
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I picked the book up because we, too, have a little Chloe that entered a big sister's world. The pictures are so cute and vivid and the simple story so endearing that we couldn't not have the book at home. It is also universal and works for any family experiencing change - not just with the arrival of a Chloe.

A Return to The Wonder Times

You know those books you read when you were a kid--"Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel (text only) by V. Lee Burton," "The Little House," "Harry the Dirty Dog," "The Caboose Who Got Loose -," "Where the Wild Things Are," and so on? Remember why they transported you? It wasn't usually because they were fantastical like "Wild," it was because they were so vivid. The worlds they created were built with their sense of art just as much as their sense of words.
I feel like a great deal of the new books I try to pick up and read to my kids today have lost that. They spend so much time focused on the "message" and the "lesson" that they forget the world. Because once you are in the world, you learn its lessons easily, almost without realizing it:
"Mike" & "House" both teach that we always have purpose and use no matter our stage of life.
"Harry" and "Wild" teach about the value of home and family and love.
and "Caboose" reminds us that once we become happy with our lives, we'll find what we're looking for.
Bringing back that tradition of high art and soft lessons is Micah Player, with his debut Children's book, "Chloe, Instead." If you look up Mr. Player here on Amazon you will find this is not his first artistic effort, and it is clear he has no trouble merging his high talents in ink & paint with subtle wordplay.
Chloe is an only child who was excited to be getting a new sister, as most big sisters would be, and for the same reasons: she thought she would be getting a little version of herself. Her illusions about this are shattered in a mess of chewed crayons, crumpled books, and banged keyboards. The way she deals with it will define their relationship through the years, and will be a nice tool for any young child also expecting a new sibling about to be "plopped" into their ordered little world.

Amazingly funny as you see the contrast between the two characters. Chloe and her life sister don't seem to get along.
