Loved by kids and adults in my household. One of those books that have an x-factor that you can't describe but it works amazingly well.

A lot better than the previous one we read in this series, [b:Toy Breaker|6979398|Benny and Penny in the Toy Breaker|Geoffrey Hayes|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1335412708s/6979398.jpg|7220966]. The story is familiar and, not that I require that of a children's book but it actually promotes a little lesson. A similar book on sibling rivalry that I enjoyed (but a proper picture book, not comic book) is [b:Please, Louise!|1315786|Please, Louise!|Frieda Wishinsky|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1328864230s/1315786.jpg|1305088] ...

Beginning graphic novel for young readers. Benny and Penny show sibling rivalry within a great comic format! Kids will enjoy the bantering and "kid language".

Benny doesn't want to play with his pesky little sister until he can't find her. Realistic sibling squabbles and characterization and cute drawings in a comic book format will make this a popular series for beginning readers.

Simple easy graphic novel, a good message.

This series has really appealed to my kids. The simple stories and text alongside eloquent pictorial storytelling makes for a fun experience.

Plus, who can't relate to being terribly mean to a sibling, and then turning around and having a great time with them?

Womp womp. Cute illustrations, and the story is nice and wholesome I guess, but it's not quite there. I wouldn't mind kids reading it, but I don't think it's particularly good. Wouldn't go out of my way to recommend it.

I think I might like this even more than the Oh No! one. Benny's little sister is driving him crazy. Despite wanting to play alone, Benny learns some important things about having a little sister and playing with her.
