The Pain and the Great One Quartet Box Set

From the one and only Judy Blume! — four fun-filled stories for kids who can already read, like the Great One, or for kids who are learning to read, like the Pain. These warm-hearted stories showcase the joys, the fun, and the frustrations of sibling rivalry and devotion as seen through the eyes of those sassy siblings, the Pain and the Great One and the friends and family they love—including their cat, Fluzzy.
