Illustrated by
Scott Nash.
A young monster tells the down side of having an older brother, such as being forced to wrestle in poison ivy or having insects dumped down his underpants. But there's a positive side, too, as when the older monster comforts the younger one when he has a nightmare. The dynamic cartoon illustrations complement the simple rhyming text with much humor.
