There's nothing worse than a rotten redheaded older brother who can do everything you can do better! Patricia's brother, Richard, can do everything better and faster than she can.

A lively, warmhearted tale of comic one-upmanship. Full color.

There's nothing worse than a rotten redheaded older brother who can do everything you can do better Patricia's brother Richard could run the fastest, climb the highest, and spit the farthest and still smile his extra-rotten, greeny-toothed, weasel-eyed grin.

Patricia Polacco's boldly and exuberantly painted pictures tell a lively and warmhearted tale of comic one-upsmanship and brotherly love.
