Critic reviews
"Readers with siblings will relate to these stories of brothers and sisters who got along and who didn't, and only children may feel relieved to be alone." (Kirkus)
"Elementary- and middle-school readers will likely get a kick out of the relatable angle." (Booklist)
"Perfect for those who loved Georgia Bragg’s How They Croaked: The Awful Ends of the Awfully Famous and a great companion for National Sibling Day (April 10) lessons or as a read-aloud." (School Library Journal)
