Samantha's parents warn her not to hit her brother. But Samantha likes to hit him, and does not think she will be sorry.
She's wrong, of course.
As the consequences of Samantha's actions grow more and more outlandish with every turn of the page, surreal twists and subtle visual humor add to the fun. Siblings of all ages are sure to recognize the contentious yet ultimately loving relationship in this lighthearted cautionary tale about a common childhood impulse.
"A puckish tale of impulsive sibling violence and remorse in a family of Kevin Henkes-like mice." Kirkus Reviews
"This clever take on the push-pull of sibling relationships gets a charming boost from the pen-and-watercolor illustrations." Booklist, ALA
The watercolor and pen-and-ink drawings work nicely to enhance this humorous cautionary tale.
