I liked this book for several reasons. The first reason is for the main character Trixie. She is annoyed which her nine other siblings and decides to run away. She resents all of her siblings and wishes she had less family. I think Trixie is a very relatable character to anyone that has a large or loud family that they feel like they need to escape from.

The second reason I liked this book was because of the illustrations. Trixie and her siblings are all fingerprints, thats why there is ten of them. I like how they are fingerprints because each one is different even they are all lumped together sometimes. I think it further exemplifies how each sibling has their own identity even though they are a big family.

I think the main message of this book is about appreciating your family. Tixie is often annoyed with her siblings saying how they are too loud but when she decides to run away she disturbed by how quiet it can be when you are all alone. Her siblings love her and she loves them even though they are loud. ( )
