"Readers with siblings will relate to these stories of brothers and sisters who got along and who didn't, and only children may feel relieved to be alone." (Kirkus)
"Elementary- and middle-school readers will likely get a kick out of the relatable angle." (Booklist)
"Perfect for those who loved Georgia Bragg’s How They Croaked: The Awful Ends of the Awfully Famous and a great companion for National Sibling Day (April 10) lessons or as a read-aloud." (School Library Journal)
