This delightful children's book might appeal to you if you enjoy heartwarming and humorous stories about family dynamics, creative problem-solving, and the classic sibling rivalry. Young readers will find the imaginative letter exchanges between a boy and his parents engaging and charming.

I Wanna New Room

Ever since their baby sister came along, Alex has been forced to share a room with his little brother, Ethan, and it's a nightmare. Ethan always breaks stuff, snores like a walrus, and sticks crayons up his nose. No hardworking, well-behaved, practically grown-up boy like Alex should have to put up with that. Full color.

Description

A hilarious companion to I Wanna Iguana that all siblings will relate to.

Writing letters to his mum convinced her to let him get his pet iguana, so Alex puts pencil to paper again, this time determined to get his own room. Though all of his powers of persuasion can't get his dad to expand the house, he does come through with a fun alternative to give Alex some space of his own.

Look for more stories highlighting Alex's negotiation skills - I Wanna Iguana and I Wanna Go Home.
