John Wallace loves to capture the vitality of children and his lively watercolours bring out the charm of the poems in this collection. He has written and illustrated several internationally successful picture books including Grump and, most recently, Pirate Boy.
'A delightful portrait of two conflicting personalities... The symmetry of John Wallace's lively illustrations on the page reflects the conflicting yet complementary nature of the sibling relationship. While the artwork succeeds in being reassuringly uncomplicated and the dialogue accessible and economic, this is a book with sufficient substance and humour to withstand plenty of revisiting.'
