Illustrated by
Petra Mathers.
Jonell and Mathers once again go straight to the heart of the child's experience in this story of sibling dynamics. Christopher, the small boy from Mommy Go Away!, is getting bigger and is now contending with little brother Robbie (last seen in I Need a Snake). Mathers's kindergarten-crayon drawings capture all the emotional drama between the brothers and add unremarked-upon details of the birthday-party setting.
