(3) 1-3 Illustrated by James Stevenson. This third book in the series continues the story of older sister Abigail ("the Great One") and younger brother Jake ("the Pain"). In alternating chapters, the two tell about day-to-day embarrassments and successes while also dealing with each other's foibles. Blume's understanding of sibling dynamics is perfect for early chapter-book readers. Stevenson's droll pen-and-ink illustrations help set the light tone.
