I read this book with my child study buddy recently. He really enjoyed the text. It was easy to become animated with the book and emphasize the characters emotions. It is somewhat of a silly book, but what better way to intrigue kids than with a little fun.
If you are having problems with siblings, I would not suggest this book! It keeps the fighting going back and forth until the end, when the little girl gets hurt. Although they are on better terms at the end of the book, they are such culprits to one another throughout the book. This book might be interesting to use when talking about families in class – some students may find the different perspective interesting. This would be a great book to use as a starter for a writing topic.
The illustrations are wonderful. I would encourage students and young children to go through the book once before reading it and just look at the pictures. They tell their own story and it is very, very fascinating.
