As a "grown mom" and an avid reader, it's been a long time since I've laughed so hard reading any book!!! I laughed, and laughed...trying to "share" with my family...who were giving me strange looks...especially at the tears streaming down my cheeks, because I was laughing so hard! Delightful! Definitely not "politically correct"!! I'm so glad that a friend told me about it, and hope that it will be re-published again...soon!

I bought this book in grade school, about 20 years ago. I still pick it up from time to time, whenever I want to laugh and cry. The author is very talented at depicting a realistic view of the relationship of two pre-teen brothers without overdoing the story or dwelling on "lessons of life". I truly hope this book comes back into print so another generation may become attached to it.
A simpler time, two brothers growing up in a small town.

This book like its predecessor, "Me and Caleb" is a charming collection of tales about boyhood. Finding and nursing a sick dog, fighting the bully, fishing with Grandpa. The stories are well written and appealled to my sensibilities as a father as well as those of my young son and daughter.
