Awww! is the first word that comes to my mind after reading the book. Maddie and Mabel are cute little sisters, where Maddie is the elder sister who takes care of everything, and Mabel is the little one who follows her.
The book is divided into five little sections to show the relationship between sisters. The sections are funny, lighthearted, and warm. The illustrations don’t fill the page but appear in smaller portions. This resulted in a spacious layout, making it easier to read and enjoy the illustrations at the same time.
The book would be great for bedtime reading, especially if you have more than one kid. The questions at the end make good starting points for discussion. The language is just as it should be in a kiddo book.
To sum up, Maddie and Mabel is a sweet little start to a promising series.

'Mabel and Maddie' is a really sweet story about two sisters. Maddie is the older sister. Mabel is the youngest sister. Maddie loves Mabel, and Mabel loves Maddie. But Mabel is getting tired of always following her big sister.
The illustrations are so childlike, and comforting.
The language is simplistic, but that's beneficial as younger readers will be able to read the story
It's a good book for siblings to read together, and as a younger and older sister myself, I really enjoyed and related to this book.
Rated: 3 stars
