Synopsis

Jake's little brother, Pete, is a real pest--always copying Jake and following him around. If Jake does a somersault, so does Pete. If Jake sets up a fruit punch stand, suddenly Pete has a stand of his own. It's more than an older brother should have to bear! But when Jake's cat, Fanny, gets caught in a tree, Pete comes up with the solution that saves the day. Maybe copycat little brothers aren't so bad after all.

About this title

From School Library Journal

Kindergarten-Grade 2-Entertaining, easy-to-read books. Poploff combines humor with horror to create a suspenseful story. When Henry is invited to spend Halloween with his new friend Artie Doomsday, he is frightened. The Doomsdays live in an old house that is rumored to be haunted and both Artie's sister and grandmother are dressed in scary outfits that Henry isn't sure are costumes. But after a few Halloween jokes the boy relaxes and is able to enjoy his visit. The full-color cartoon drawings are fun rather than frightening. In Jake, the second grader finds his younger brother annoying. However, his feelings toward Pete soften when his cat gets stuck up in a tree and Pete comes up with a plan to rescue it. Children will enjoy the true-to-life interactions between these siblings. Line-and-watercolor drawings enhance the story line. Light selections for beginning readers.
