Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Honest book about sibling rivalry
One of the great gifts of Judy Blume is that she doesn't lie to kids. Her books are refreshingly - and sometimes painfully - honest. As a kid, I sure appreciated it. Too many books lie, because they think children can't hear the truth. They ignore the fact that children already *know* the truth many times.
The truth in this book is that sometimes, having a brother or sister just sucks. The lie that most people would try to give is the moral that you really, deep down have to love your ... Read More
Rating: - Favorite Childhood Book
This book is one of my all-time favorites from childhood, when you would have bet money that your parents loved your brother (or sister) more than you! Written in cute prose by the wonderful Judy Blume, this book puts sibling rivalry into a funny and sweet manner.
I only wish I could find the one from childhood, when each kid had their own "side" and the book flipped over!
Rating:  - Great Book- good message
This is a great book, especially for kids with siblings! It shows how both children feel like the parents like the other one better and that they don't like each other but realize that life isn't as fun without the other sibling around. Highly recommend this!!
Rating: - Two sides of the coin
There are remarkably few authors that have managed to write for almost every single age group. Judy Blume is one of the few.

We all know who Judy Blume is, but we probably know her for very different reasons. As a kid, I knew her primarily as the author of "Tales of a Fourth ... Read More
Rating: - I CAN RELATE!
Wordsmith Judy Blume uses more verbal magic in this illustrated children's book about a little brother and a big sister. Another book that, at age 12, seemed "too kiddie" and beneath me.
I don't care if you're 60, 16, or 6 years-old! Even if you did not have the experience of growing up with siblings, or, in my case, I was the youngest, but had a smaller niece that acted as a baby sister.
Read so you know the title. Read so you know better than any Child Psychology book on the structure of ... Read More
