Isabelle & Isabella's Little Book of Rules Isabella Thordsen

It?s easier to follow rules if you make them yourself. This collection of kid-authored, kid-approved guidelines for living makes a great gift for the child inside of everyone.

Ten-year-old Isabelle and her eight-year-old cousin Isabella have a few tips for living life. Well, maybe more than a few. Begun as a guide for Isabelle?s younger sister, the girls? list quickly grew, and soon more than 150 rules filled a secret notebook.

Some rules are simple: ?Recycle.? ?Eat whatever your mom makes for dinner and don?t complain.? Others are practical: ?Go to sleep early if you have soccer practice in the morning.? Others are sweet: ?Protect each other.? And others are downright hilarious: ?Color on paper, not on people.? ?Don?t bite the dentist.?

When Isabelle and Isabella lost their handwritten list of rules in a store, they feared it was gone forever. But after a clerk found their notebook and posted about it on Facebook, Isabelle and Isabella became overnight sensations?the staff of Good Morning America said, ?Everyone here wants a copy of this. This is going to be a bestseller!? Because after all, who doesn?t need a little help navigating their way through life, at any age?
