专业书评 From School Library Journal Grade 1-2–Beginning readers will enjoy the clear writing and clever plotting in these stories narrated by William about him and his younger sister. In the first chapter, Jane proves that while she may be smaller, she is stronger. Next, William joins the family in a search for Jane's lost doll, and to appease her he pretends to be a doll and allows her to feed him, comb his hair, and put him down for a nap. As he stretches out on the couch, the lost toy is found. Finally, Jane is frustrated because William needs a bath and none of the adults will make him take one. Readers may chuckle as Jane induces him to get into the tub, and compare this chapter to a scenario in Jean Van Leeuwen's
Amanda Pig and Her Brother Oliver (Puffin, 1994). Denton's cheerful and expressive illustrations perfectly capture the relationship between these characters. William may be every girl's dream of a big brother rather than a realistic sibling, but fans of family stories such as Stephen Krensky's
Lionel and Louise (Puffin, 1997) will feel right at home with him.

--This text refers to the Paperback edition. From Booklist K-Gr. 2. This entry in the I Am Reading series features a boy named William and his little sister, Jane. Written in the first person from William's point of view, the three short chapters tell separate stories. In the first, Jane proves that she has the power to make her big brother take a walk with her. In the second, William serves as a stand-in for Jane's lost toy porcupine. The final tale shows William turning the tables on his sister. Full of simple but also believable dialogue, the stories reveal some of the give and take of sibling relations. More satisfying than the stories, though, is the artwork. Brightened with colorful washes, Denton's precise, sensitive ink drawings illustrate the story with wit and panache.
