This was a great book. I loved how the stories switched from different points of view. It reminded me a lot of me and my siblings. We are always fighting with one another. The stories were hilarious. It was a great take on sibling relationships. As a reader you were able to relate to at least one of the characters in some way. In the stories were real life issues, like not being able to ride your bike or staying the night at a friends house for the first time. There are many of these typed of events in this story that makes it relatable to all ages of readers. The amount of text in each story varied. It is a great book for a reluctant reader or a reader who is ready to make the jump to larger chapter books. The illustrations brought to life the comical aspects in each story. There was a funny twist on each side that allowed the reader to learn what the character is all about. The ending of the book caught me off guard. You do not think about what the cat or dog is thinking about when you are fighting with your siblings. The ending of this story brought those thoughts to life. I am going to warn you, it is awfully funny.
