  This is my house.

  At least, it used to be.

  Now, it’s our house.

  I was hoping for a little sister who was just like me.

  But I got Chloe, instead.

  She’s nothing like me.

  I color with crayons.

  Chloe thinks they’re delicious.

  I love books.

  So does Chloe.

  She can’t get enough of them.

  Actually, Chloe can’t seem to get enough of anything.

  Especially my things.

  Go away, Chloe!

  I need to practice.

  Come back.

  I’m sorry, Chloe.

  Do you want to dance?

  (Chloe loves to dance.)

  Dance, Chloe!

  Fast!

  Slow!

  High!

  Low!

  Whoa!

  This used to be my house.

  Now, it’s our house.

  I’m glad I didn’t get a little sister who was just like me.

  Because I got Chloe …

  instead.
