i picked up the pain and the great one because of blumesday and ended up reading it with my little friends, avery and audrina. as a kid, i used to love this story because it totally reminded me of my little sister and i. jill was the pain one and i, of course, the great one. as a kid, i enjoyed appreciated the lesson about siblings and jealousy. it's a cute little story with an important lesson about sibling rivalry, that we really have nothing to be jealous of, our parents love us all equally. i especially love how they both want to do things without their sibling but realize that they reason they have fun is because their siblings is there with them.
i will add that after i read this with the girls, i had them write a letter to their older brother about why he is so great. we also discussed how we should be nice to our siblings and not be jealous of them.
(sorry this post is short, but nothing too short or deep to discuss.)
