Does anyone know of a good picture book that features three sisters? My friend just had her third daughter -- I want to get a present for the older 2 girls (4 and 2) who both love to read. I was thinking a book that features 3 sisters would be fun for them and a fun way to celebrate the new baby, but I can't come up with anything! Anyone have any ideas?

(and if you don't have a book idea, but have some other gift idea that celebrates either 3 sisters or "biggest sister" and "big sister" in some other way, I'd love to hear that too!)

TIA!

There may be others but we don't have any of them.

Flicka, Ricka and Dica series by Maj Lindman

I used to love these but they are somewhat dated, but cute.

Fun! I never thought of getting a book with three "stisters" and DD calls them. My girls would love that!

Cute idea!

I was also going to suggest the Flicka, Ricka and Dicka books! Old-fashioned, sweet stories with the triplets learning some kind of lesson.

Also, Renee Graef's picture book versions of Little House on the Prairie have three sisters – Mary, Laura and baby Carrie. Here's a link to one from the series:
