(2) 1-3 Illustrated by James Stevenson. This book for emerging readers is alternatingly narrated by the Pain (first-grader Jake) and the Great One (third-grader Abigail). Even though they drive each other nuts, it's clear that they care about one another. Blume gets the tone right as this brother and sister team navigates the waters of family life. The whole package is enhanced by Stevenson's droll pen-and-ink illustrations.
