Now Lily Jean is calling the shots ordering Carly to be a baby when they play house and a dog when they play king and queen. Can Carly find a way to combat Lily Jeans bullying ways and turn the tables on her bad behaviour? Frieda Wishinskys simple text authentically portrays the world of little girls and their complicated relationships while Kady MacDonald Dentons illustrations subtly emphasize the lessons about empathy loyalty and fairness.
