Ballerinas Don't Wear Glasses by Ainslie Manson

Ballerinas Don't Wear Glasses by Ainslie Manson, illustrated by Dean Griffiths is a very cute story about a brother that saves the day for his little sister, even though there are times that he wishes he could trade her in for a puppy.  Ben is not impressed when his plans for the day are ruined because his mom is busy and he's responsible for his little sister, Allison.

Anna loved this book and I could tell from the look on her face while I was reading it that there were times when she wanted to punch Ben, but in the end he turned out to be a good big brother.
