review 1: I think the author was trying to tell a story of a little boy who at times is jealous of his sister’s cat, which his sister spends most of her time with. However, the flow of the story just wandered too much to really say for sure what the point was. My favorite part was when the cat decided to “let herself go” to avoid further beautification; hysterical. The illustrations were great, the story just needed some editing.
review 2: One thing we love about this book is the old toys featured in the line-drawing illustrations. By old, I mean toys from my own '70-s childhood: tinker toys, trolls, Fisher Price parking garage and people, etc.. In this first-person story, one brother's annoying toddler brother, who at two years old has annoyingly grown bigger th... morean his important self, was hilarious. The author and illustrator show well the annoyingness and self-importance, but also the overriding reasons for love and mutual appreciation among even young brothers, in a funny, touching but not-at-all preachy way. Our "younger" and "older" brothers all enjoyed this. less
