From Booklist
The creators of numerous titles, including I Can Draw a Weeposaur and Other Dinosaurs (2001), Greenfield and Gilchrist team up again in this collection of 25 short poems about life with siblings. The poems’ titles indicate the range of family themes: “New Brothers,” “Mad at Dad,” “Grandma and Her Sisters,” “Let’s Make Up,” “Aunt Me,” and “The Two of Us,” which concludes, “Whatever we do, / we know we’re going to do it / together.” The styles are varied; some poems follow strict rhymes, while others are written in looser forms. All of the selections, though, feature timeless characters and situations. The exclusively African American characters in the watercolor-and-ink art are sometimes awkwardly drawn, but the themes are clear and universal. Everyone can relate to the poems’ affection, frustration, laughter, jealousy, and family pride, as well as the love that always shines through. Grades 1-4. --Andrew Medlar
