The Younger Brother's Survival Guide by Lisa Kopelke

These two kids put sibling rivalry to the test. Matt (the younger brother) compiles a list of tips on how to deal with his older sister. Incidents that lead him to the creation of the tips are also depicted (so the reader can see the full picture of sibling torture). Right away this book had me laughing because it made me think of my sisters and the terrible things that we would do to one another. It's a really nice book and it ends on the positive tone that "It's not always easy having an older sister, but it's always an adventure" (meanwhile main character is tied to a tree while his sister and her evil cat are hanging out -- but isn't that technically considered quality sibling time?)
