School Library Journal
K-Gr 2-These realistic but uninvolving stories address some of the frustrations and fears of childhood. My Brother, the Pest is narrated in rhyme by a young girl who expresses her annoyance with her little brother until she realizes that they do have some fun together. In Monster Songs, Hal is afraid of the creature that sings under his bed until his brother Jack helps him conquer his nighttime fears. Both titles use a limited vocabulary, making them suitable for beginning readers. Unfortunately, neither book will engage youngsters. The clear, full-color photographs appear staged and add little to the stories.-Lori Haas Weaver, Montmorency County Public Libraries, Atlanta, MI Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.
