SEYMOUR AND OPAL

Illustrated in full color. Siblings Seymour and Opal get along pretty well—until the day Seymour starts charging Opal five cents every time she passes through his room into hers. When Opal runs out of nickels, she decides to teach her brother a lesson—and before she's through, Seymour realizes that his sister is worth more to him than a whole piggy bank full of change. In the tradition of the best books about childhood challenges, Nicole Jussek's charming storytelling and Ana Lopéz Escrivá's adorable bunny-rabbit characters provide just the right mixture of humor and reality to show that it's more fun to be friends than foes.
