Reach for this book when your older child is reaching their breaking point with a younger sibling who constantly disrupts their play, breaks their toys, or mimics their every move. It is an essential read for families navigating the messy transition from being an only child to sharing a space with a high-energy toddler. Through a cast of charming monster characters, the story validates the very real frustration and anger that comes with sibling rivalry. While the characters are monsters, their emotions are deeply human and relatable for children aged 3 to 7. Pat Hutchins uses vibrant, detailed illustrations to show how a big brother tries to maintain his patience while his little brother, Billy, keeps interfering. It is a perfect choice for parents who want to normalize the 'not-so-sweet' feelings of siblinghood while ultimately reinforcing the underlying bond of love and family loyalty.
