Judy Blume's quintessential tale of sibling rivalry is as funny as ever--and has a fresh new look!
When an eight-year-old girl and her six-year-old brother take turns describing each other, it's no surprise that "The Pain" and "The Great One" are the nicknames that emerge. As this duo debates whom Mom and Dad love most, their competition becomes increasingly humorous--because when it comes to family affection, there's no such thing as win or lose.

Small; cheap paper; b&w illustrations unlike the original. Definitely not worth the price!
Description stated "New," the book was clearly used with creased pages and a sticky note inside.
My kids like this book. They think it's very funny. They are glad they don't feel the same sibling rivalry but they see it with their friends all the time.
Cute book. Gives 2 perspectives... one is the older siblings telling the story of the younger and the other is the younger sibling telling about the older. Both kids feel the same about their sibling, as if parent loved the other more.
This book was meant for an early reader (2nd or 3rd grade). Has a fair amount of pictures as well. Great to introduce young readers to longer books.
