'Skipping ahead from toddlers to primary school, we meet Jake and his older sister, Abigail, in Judy Blume’s
“Cool Zone With the Pain and the Great One.” The second in a series, this easy-reading story collection presents Jake (the Pain) in first grade and Abigail (the Great One) in third. In two years looms a significant power imbalance, and their relationship demands elaborate rules, record-keeping and negotiation.'
and
' In “Sisters and Brothers: Sibling Relationships in the Animal World,” Steve Jenkins and Robin Page present intriguing lore about termite families, bat twins and giant anteater singletons, in gorgeous cut- and torn-paper collages. We enjoy the unexpected grace of beavers swimming and the bulky power of grizzly bears.'
