Synopsis

Everybody might love Raymond now, but when Ray Romano was ten years old, he and his brothers didn't always get along.

Raymie has two brothers, Dickie and the Bean. Sometimes he loves his brothers. Sometimes he hates them.

One day Raymie's family takes a trip to the amusement park. On the car ride Raymie tells a really funny joke that Dickie says isn't funny at all. Raymie really hates that. When they get to the park, Raymie and Dickie can't wait to ride the Vomitizer because it's the scariest ride in the whole park. But first Mom makes them ride on Chuckie the Choo-Choo with Bean. Having a younger brother can really mess up the fun.

Raymie knows that when you have brothers, things never go exactly how you expect them to, even when you give them noogie after noogie to drive the point home. But in this funny family tale we find out that Ray Romano loves his brothers -- and everybody loves Raymie!

Reviews

Kindergarten-Grade 4–Romano recounts a mildly amusing story of a childhood visit to an amusement park. The middle child of three brothers in a loving family, 10-year-old Raymie is looking forward to his favorite ride, the Vomitizer, but first must endure Chuckie the Choo-Choo with his younger brother, Bean. Typical sibling interactions, usually insults and rivalry but occasionally a sympathetic moment, provide the substance of the tale. Instances of bawdy humor (wedgies, farting, etc.) appear throughout. Done in oil paints, the caricaturelike illustrations are dynamic and expressive. Although the subject is inherently appealing to children, the tone of the narrative, with its adult perspective and tongue-in-cheek humor, seems targeted more to adult fans of Romano's television show. Accompanied by an audio CD, read by the author.– Robin L. Gibson, formerly at Perry County District Library, New Lexington, OH
