Going, Going, Gone! with the Pain and the Great One by Judy Blume

4.0

Indeed, this is a nice old book for children. Even though I am not a small child anymore, but my mind and my heart are still getting captured by how being a small kid are so fascinating. We learned by understanding the meaning behind what we read. The lesson learned. As far as I am going here, the more specific the content will be. More detail on explanation and hurt my mind because sometimes I couldn't understand. But reading this book, I could feel like I am going back there.

This book is telling a story about two siblings, an old sister called the Great One and a younger brother called the Pain. The point of view was interspersed between the pain and the great one. Make us understand their way of thinking and personality. But as usual, as a sibling, we always jealous of each other. We always want to be the ones who tell the truth. We want to be praised by our parents for what we did, not our siblings. We want what we want, not what our siblings want. We are stubborn with our siblings.

I like at the end of this book, there is a poem about their cat. How the cat is thinking that ”So if I care”. It's quite amusing to me for a child book scale of the poem.
