      Seeing events from my childhood made me laugh aloud. This book is a delight!
    • 3/5
      I liked this book because it reminded me of a typical family with rivalry siblings. I liked the characters in this book because they were real characters with a family and siblings that anyone could relate to. For example, an annoying, cry baby brother and a know it all older sister. I also liked the illustrations in this book because they really help readers visualize what is going on in the text. For example, the text says, "When I got a phone call he danced all around me singing stupid songs" and the illustration shows the older sister on the phone and the brother dancing around bothering her. The illustrations really enhanced the story. The big idea in this book is to cherish your siblings and family.

      Being that Judy Blume is one of my favorite authors, it was no surprise that I enjoyed reading this book. One reason I liked this book was because of how Blume wrote it from two different perspectives, the sisters point of view and the brothers point of view. She first starts out with the sister complaining about "the pain" and everything the pain, or her little brother, and everything he does to annoy her. Then she changes the perspective of the story and the brother then begins to complain about "the great one," or his big sister, and everything she does to annoy him. This allows the reader to get a full insight on each characters' perspective and point of view. Another reason I liked this book was because of the relatable plot; it can be assumed that most readers have siblings and/or an extended relative that they have a rivalry with. This story addresses that issue very well and does so in a comical way, making the read even more enjoyable. The big idea of this story is that even though siblings may be annoying, you can't live without them.
    • 3/5
      This is a great book written from the point of view of two siblings. The book is divided into two halves and the first half the girl describes her perspective and view of her brother, The Pain. Then he describes his take on the situation with is sister, The Great One. The book is very realistic and I think any one with siblings could relate. You can see the same situation being perceived differently and clearly understand point of view. It is humorous and real. Kids from mid elementary through middle school would enjoy this book. It would be great to have kids create charts analyzing the same events from both perspectives.
    • 5/5
      This book touches on the very common and relatable issues felt by most siblings at one time or another. The older sister sees her brother as nothing but a pain, yet realizes that things aren't as much as fun with out him around. The younger brother sees his sister as this great one who thinks she is so much better than he is. I love this book because it expresses that fact that there are two sides to every story and experience. It also shows that when it comes to family, sometimes we can't live with them... but can't live without them either.
    • 5/5
      I like that this book deals with sibling rivalry, fairness, and then goes into perspectives, which are all themes that kids can relate to while learning a lesson.
    • 5/5
      This book should be read by every child with a sibling (or siblings). I like to think of it as a Zen way of looking at things from each other's points of view. This is Judy Blume's only true "picture book" even though a couple of her others have illustrations: Tales of a 4th grade Nothing and The one in the middle is the Green Kangaroo. I have to say that Blume is one of the "great ones" herself. She has captured in this book, as in all of her books, the perfect balance between the reality of the world and the humor in all of us.
    • 5/5
      This charming book addresses the issue of sibling rivalry between an eight-year old girl and her six-year old little brother. Their frustration with one another is evident in the two separate sections of the book, one for each of their points of view. What is also evident, and apparently realized by the children’s parents, is that they actually love each other and rely on each other more than they are willing to admit. The story serves as a strong introduction to the concept of perspective.
    • 5/5
      This was a wonderful book. Amazing book for siblings. The book is about an older sister that thinks that her little brother is favored over her. At the same time, the little brother thinks that everyone thinks that his older sister is favored. There is a big lesson to be learned in this book. It does not have to be used just for siblings, but it can be used for several different scenarios. Teachers can use this book as a social learning skill. It can be used as a writing prompt.

      Sibling rivalry collides in this beloved classic by Judy Bloom.
    • 3/5
      This book is about a young girl and her younger brother who she calls the pain. He is always annoying her and getting more attention from their parents. Then she gets the privilege of staying up late without him but realizes it isn’t much fun playing by herself but in the morning she remembers what a pain her brother is. I loved this book and think any sibling could think of a time when their brother or sister was a pain, I know I can.
    • 4/5
      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 sibling after all - right? Well, Ms. Blume skirts very *close* to that moral, when each child realizes midway through a rant that getting a special privilege without their sibling isn't any fun, and, indeed, their parents try to push that moral on them - but no, that "no fun" bit is just another reason why their sibling is awful! And the next day they remembered, not the moral, but the rivalry.Each child's rant about their brother/sister ends with the thought that maybe their parents like the other one best. I think we've all felt that. I did just last week, and I'm an adult :) There's no reassurance here except the other sibling saying the same thing.If you're uncomfortable with this sort of presentation of facts, I'd suggest you borrow the book from the library before buying. Otherwise, I firmly suggest you buy this book for your own library.
