Everyone was worried. The girl had fallen off the merry go round. Her brother had carried her home. She said "Thank you." The older brother and the sister felt happy. They were friends. I liked this book because the boy is mean but after he is nice. By Jujay

I love the illustrations, they seemed to come alive. The expressions of the characters and the way the poses flow makes the story that more exciting. The moral of the story surely hit home. I will enjoy reading this book to my grand children.

I loved this book! It was hilarious! Trisha has a very mean older brother named Richard. Richard could do everything better than Trisha. He could: sit the longest, burp the loudest, get the dirtiest, run the fastest, climb the highest, and throw the farthest. Trisha was so angry! She wanted to be better at something than Richard. When she saw a shooting star she wished for something she could do better. Her wish comes true-but you'll have to read the book to find out how! Patricia Palacco is a great story teller. Sometimes she writes funny books and sometimes she writes sad and thoughtful books. All of her books are great! by Rachel from Stockbridge Central School.
