"[E]ngaging. . . With loose full-color mixed-media illustrations on every page, Weinberg (the AstroNuts series) employs a lively mix of design elements, such as comics-style speech bubbles and collaged details, including his own paintings and 'art from a few centuries ago.' Full of realistic sibling interactions, this is a spirited and relatable celebration of the delights—and recognition of the challenges—of being the middle kid."
