There's nothing worse than a rotten redheaded older brother who can do
everything you can do better! Patricia's brother Richard could run the
fastest, climb the highest, and spit the farthest and still smile his
extra-rotten, greeny-toothed, weasel-eyed grin. But when little Patricia
wishes on a shooting star that she could do something--*anything--*to
show him up, she finds out just what wishes--and rotten redheaded older
brothers--can really do. Patricia Polacco's boldly and exuberantly
painted pictures tell a lively and warmhearted tale of comic
one-upsmanship and brotherly love.
