A very fun book about sister/sibling love. Fun pictures that the youngest children will enjoy. Great ideas for sister adventures that they will treasure.

Well huh. The illustrations were cute. The story ended well there just wasn’t much of one. I think it’s sweet the sisters spending time together but there’s no real description of what there day was supposed to be only how it wasn’t working out.

Maybe little ones would enjoy it more.

Very cute children’s book, I wish there had been a little bit more to the story and more plot but I enjoyed it and the art style!

An outing gone wrong at every turn. This story of sisters dealing with disappointment is a reminder of how to make the best of the time we spend with our family. A great lesson for all ages.

As a big sister I love the message of this book. It has a fun message of being able to do fun things even when the day doesn't go as planned. The art is cute. My kids would have loved this when they were younger.

Big Sister, Long Coat by Nelly Buchet is a really cute story about a young sibling spending time with her big sister. It shows that no matter if it rains or shines, spending time with your big sister is always fun!

The illustrations are lovely. This would be a great book for boys and girls. I would recommend it for sure.

Thank you NetGalley and NorthSouth Books for this ARC.

Two sisters find themselves getting to spend a day together. Little sister is so happy to be with big sister. The day starts off as hot. The ice cream melts faster than you can eat it. Suddenly it starts to rain causing one disappointment after another. They can’t even get to the library in time as it’s closing for the day. Big sister helps little sister watch the stars in the sky. One sees the love between sisters. The picture book has lovely illustrations on each page. The sentences are short — just a few words at a time. I enjoyed the book sweetness. I think that it is a great introduction for toddlers to books.

Cute story that my daughter enjoyed. It was interactive and engaging. Teaching that even though circumstances can change your plans you can still turn it around to have a good day.

Thank you NetGalley, the author and publisher for the ARC!

This read was a little . . . dreary.

Both the story and the illustrations were kind of drab - two sisters plan an outing that is almost spoiled by heavy rain. I did like the warm feeling that was generated by the relationship, but the older sister seems SO MUCH older than the younger, there's more of a mother/daughter vibe to the pair.

I found this cheerless and somewhat bewildering, but maybe children will enjoy the book more than I did.

An absolutely delightful book about two sisters who plan to spend the day together and then the plans go very awry and they have to adapt and make the most of it and find, that sometimes, even the most revised plans can be even better than what was originally planned.

Illustrated with bright and fun colors, this is such a fun story that littles will go to again and again as they learn that just because something is planned doesn't mean that it cannot be changed.

The author note at the end will encourage conversation with whomever is reading it and is a fun addition to the story [and can encourage the reader to insert themselves into the story].

Well done.

This children's book focuses on the relationship between and older and younger sister, and a day in which their adventures did not go as planned - and yet it was a good day. The illustrations are wonderful, the story a bit spare - for example, the child I read this with kept looking for the hook with the "long coat" of the title - but overall a good book to read with younger children to talk about love and care toward one another.

THIS WAS SO SWEET. I love this sister story, but I also love how it teaches kids to understand that not every day goes to plan and you have to be flexible. No matter what, who you're with is the most important thing. LOVED IT.

This is a very enjoyable, well illustrated children's book. I love the themes presented and would be happy to incorporate it into my library practice. A beautiful tale.

The description that accompanied with illustrations were wonderful
It was supposbly a fun day. Little Sister and Big Sister had plans to have the best day. First, it was too hot, then it started raining. Hard! Eventhough the day was ruined. Because of Big Siser, Little Sister had a fun day.

The story teaches that the worst day can be a fun day.

Thank you Nelly Buchet author, Rachel Katsyaller illustrator,
Northsound books, and NetGalley for the opportunity for the privilege to read and the picture book.

As a mom of 3 girls, this book was perfect. They are the coat and the umbrella when it rains and they battle for each other through it all. This book couldn't be more perfect and will be wonderful for an easter basket. Thank you for sharing such an amazing book with us.

Darling story of how a day this little girl was spending with her big sister went from fun to rainy to fun again. Sweet.

Big Sister, Long Coat is a super cute kids book that teaches 2 important lessons: that siblings can be your best friend and that sometimes plans have to change but that can end up being a great thing. Very cute story and fun drawings.

When everything appears to go wrong, a nurturing big sister does more than salvage an outing with her little sister — she creates what are sure to be sweet memories. Charming.

I love charming children's books, but this one just didn't hit me well.

For one, what's with the "long coat"? I figured it was going to be something magical, or at the very least we'd find that it represented something cool, like safety or trust. But no, it's not even mentioned. We just see the big sister wearing it.

I believe the message we're supposed to take away from this book, with weirdly sparse and not at all lyrical text, is that when you're with the ones you love, anything can be worthwhile and even fun.

The author and illustrator of this book complement one another so well. The visuals give extra meaning to the text of this picture book.

A young girl is excited to be noticed by and to spend the day with her big sister. However, things don’t go as expected. Will it be a day of disappointment or…could it all be okay? Young kids will enjoy finding out when they hear this sweet title.

Many thanks to NetGalley and NorthSouth Books for this title. All opinions are my own.
