My Rotten Redheaded Older Brother

Polacco, Patricia. (1994). My Rotten Redheaded Older Brother. Illus. Patricia Polacco. New York, New York: Simon and Schuster Books for Young Readers.

Annotation: This is a light-hearted book about a younger sister that will do anything to be better than her brother at something, even if she has to wish upon a shooting star. Even though it takes a few stitches to find her niche, she does by the end of the book.
Genre: Children's picturebook
Grade Level: 3rd-5th
Readers who would like this: Anyone who has an older sibling that they rival or rivaled growing up.
Rating/Response: I give this book a 3, because I did not like the illustrations very much. I found them a bit distracting. For the theme of the book, I loved it! I know exactly how sibling rivalry can be sometimes.
Question: How many of you have an older sibling that seems to do things a little better than you do?
