From Booklist:
PreS. Eugene is the second child caught in the middle between his big sister, Winifred, and his little sister, Bun Bun. He tries to tell his story, but he can't do it, because Winifred won't let him. She corrects everything he says, interrupts him, stops him, yells at him ("Your boots are on the wrong feet. . . . No-no-no!"), and jeers at his dreams of independence ("You aren't old enough"). Johnson's small, scribbly cartoon illustrations in line and watercolor are both touching and very funny, evoking the child's fury and frustration in a world where big means control. In style and substance, this is reminiscent of the late William Steig's Grown-Ups Get to Do All the Driving (1995), but here the boss is closer--a sibling, not a grown-up. Second kids, even older ones, will want this. Hazel Rochman
