Truly funny easy readers are hard to find, but put this one at the top of the list. HOW TO DRIVE YOUR SISTER CRAZY totally cracked me up to the point that I laughed out loud as I read this...in a public skating rink. I can imagine the second-grader that I was (long ago), reading this secretly in the back of the classroom, trying not to laugh (so that the teacher wouldn't know that I wasn't paying attention to "learning to count by fives." Shor nails the whole mindset of sibling one-upmanship so well that the reader is not aware that this a "learn-to-read" book. It is written in a way that does not condescend to the reader, or sacrifice humor and story for the sake of a limited vocabulary. This is a great addition to any easy reader collection. High fives all around for Shor!

Bradley Harris Pinkerton has an older sister named Abby. Bradley loves driving Abby crazy. He feels it's a brother's job to drive his sister crazy. That is why Bradley was nice enough to create this step-by-step guide on how it's done. He even gives brothers a fair warning not to let their sisters read this book!

HOW TO DRIVE YOUR SISTER CRAZY is a really fun and easy read. The story flows and is perfect for a child who is well on their way to reading but still needs a little help. The pictures really enhance the story. Seeing Bradley sneaking around every corner and seeing Abby's reactions to what Bradley does just makes you laugh.

The characters are very easy to relate to, whether you're a Bradley, one who would get enjoyment out of driving their sibling crazy, or an Abby, one who has a sibling who is driving them crazy. There is something for everyone with a sibling in this story. All the Abby's who manage to get hold of this book will know what to look out for. All the Bradley's will find his antics hysterical and might even gain a few tips. I know my sister will.

Be sure to add this adorable book to your collection.
