No Fighting, No Biting! (An I Can Read Book, Level 2)

Summary: Cute story - poor quality
Review: "Please sit with us, Cousin Joan," little Rosa and Willy ask their older cousin.
"I am reading," she replies.
Willy and Rosa sit down next to her and begin to bicker. They complain to Cousin Joan about all the squeezing, pinching, and teasing that has been going on between them on the couch. Cousin Joan compares the two children to little baby alligators.
The children are appalled by this idea. They do not see how they are like little alligators. Cousin Joan continues, by telling them about two young alligators named, Light-Foot and Quick-Foot.
The children enjoy the stories Joan tells them, but they still continue to fight. However, after Rosa looses a tooth it seems like the children grasp and understand Cousin Joan's comparison between them and Light-Foot and Quick-Foot.
Cousin Joan asks them if they are still fighting. "No, No, No. No fighting," they reply.
She asks them if they are still biting. "No, No, No. No biting," they say. The children sit in peace.
I thought that this story was very nice. It seemed to remind me of my sister and me a lot. We always end of fighting, and sometimes, yes, biting!
Even though the story is cute, and realistic, I believe that it is kind of hard to follow. It jumps back and forth from Willy and Rosa to Light-Foot and Quick-Foot. I had to re-read a few passages from the story, just to understand it. So, I do not believe that the story has been constructed very well. But besides that, and overall, it was nice.

Review: I was looking for a book with this subject for my 4 y.o. and bought this one based on the title and the description. It is not a morality tale although the story is cute and my son, who is just starting to read, liked being able to identify some of the words. The quality is terrible, though. On some pages the text is centered on the page but on others you really have to bend the spine to see the letters which flow from the very center to the very edge of the page.

Summary: Blast from the Past
Review: Now that I am 19 and in my second year of college, as an English major I must read alot of books. During my Children's Lit class we had to go over our fondest childhood books. This book was allways my favourite as a child and the only copy I had was begining to disintigrate so I had to get it! I allways loved the illustrations and the development of a story withing a story. The rivaling brother and sister reminded me so much of my own siblings. The thing I was looking forward to the most about reading it again is the ending. The copy I had as a child had the last few pages torn out, so it will be all new to me!
