Perfect for little ones.  This Frozen themed book is all about opposites, like "Happy sister, sad sister" and on/off, in/out.

You can start out using it with toddlers as a learning tool where you can point out objects and things like bird and cup, and name them.  Then later (or now) you can be use the book as a practice reader.  It's at the Kindergarten reading level.

bookcover of A SISTER MORE LIKE ME (Step into Reading - Disney's FROZEN) by Barbara Jean Hicks
A Sister More Like Me
by Barbara Jean Hicks
Brittney Lee (Illustrator)

4.41 avg rating — 355 ratings

This book is interesting because it covers the missing years in Anna's and Elsa's lives, a period of time that wasn't mentioned in the movie.  

Alternating view points --shown in different colored text -- the sisters talk about their teen years where each sister developed their own interests and way of doing things.  Elsa, for example, liked to read books.  Anna, on the other hand, liked to be outside and she loved horseback riding.
