What big brother hasn't been frustrated by his sibling? In this story the "monster" is a pesky little sister, whose antics include throwing things and pulling hair. Luckily, the brother doesn't give in to his urges to "tease it and poke it and call it bad names," instead figuring out how to turn tantrums into tickle-time. Colorful angular illustrations enhance the humor.
