Goodreads

Jacob is 9 when his triplet sisters arrive. He really wanted a litter of puppies, but instead he got “The Trips.” He begins chronicling their lives and the things that make them different from each other, and along the way, he decides he actually likes them a bit.

This is a gentle and sweet story about family, growing up, and helping out. This is a great book for new chapter book readers and would be a great bed time read aloud. There are some black and white illustrations throughout, but they don’t add a ton to the story. The text is widely spaced making this an accessible book for new readers. Recommended for readers 7 and up.
