Molly wants a sister who is JUST LIKE HER. But she got Chloe, instead. The two sisters are nothing alike: Molly loves to colour with crayons. Chloe likes to eat them. Molly loves books. So does Chloe. But she likes to eat them, not read them. And yet, when playing the piano one day, Molly realizes just how much fun Chloe can be. She decides that even though Chloe is not what she expected, she'll take Chloe, instead.

Review
What a beautifully-coloured, trendy yet vintage looking picture, book Chloe, Instead is. It is such a chic book, and an absolute joy to look at. The vibrant bold colours jump out of the page and the simple-looking artwork help make this tale very dynamic indeed. --Library Mice Blog

Our Chloe and Every Chloe!
21 Jun 2012
By J. Haller
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I picked the book up because we, too, have a little Chloe that entered a big sister's world. The pictures are so cute and vivid and the simple story so endearing that we couldn't not have the book at home. It is also universal and works for any family experiencing change - not just with the arrival of a Chloe.

A Return to The Wonder Times

You know those books you read when you were a kid--"Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel (text only) by V. Lee Burton," "The Little House," "Harry the Dirty Dog," "The Caboose Who Got Loose -," "Where the Wild Things Are," and so on? Remember why they transported you? It wasn't usually because they were fantastical like "Wild," it was because they were so vivid. The worlds they created were built with their sense of art just as much as their sense of words.
I feel like a great deal of the new books I try to pick up and read to my kids today have lost that. They spend so much time focused on the "message" and the "lesson" that they forget the world. Because once you are in the world, you learn its lessons easily, almost without realizing it:
"Mike" & "House" both teach that we always have purpose and use no matter our stage of life.
"Harry" and "Wild" teach about the value of home and family and love.
and "Caboose" reminds us that once we become happy with our lives, we'll find what we're looking for.
Bringing back that tradition of high art and soft lessons is Micah Player, with his debut Children's book, "Chloe, Instead." If you look up Mr. Player here on Amazon you will find this is not his first artistic effort, and it is clear he has no trouble merging his high talents in ink & paint with subtle wordplay.
Chloe is an only child who was excited to be getting a new sister, as most big sisters would be, and for the same reasons: she thought she would be getting a little version of herself. Her illusions about this are shattered in a mess of chewed crayons, crumpled books, and banged keyboards. The way she deals with it will define their relationship through the years, and will be a nice tool for any young child also expecting a new sibling about to be "plopped" into their ordered little world.

My oldest daughter very much wanted a brother when I was expecting little sis. I found this book shortly after the birth of our Chloe! Fit the situation perfectly! :)
