I read the book Baby Says by John Steptoe. This book was very limited in the amount of words, however the pictures were very helpful and descriptive. This book was about two little boys, one who is crib-age (about 1) and one who is about 4. The story is about these two little boys. The 1 year old is constantly trying to get his older brother's attention; he throws toys repeatedly and each time the older boy picks them up and says "no, no". The mood of the book shows the feelings of the older siblings and how the younger siblings feel like they need attention and need to be in the middle of everything. The mood of the book was fun. It showed a fun loving interaction between siblings. I liked this book, because it reminded me of me and my sister and how we always love each other, but often get annoyed at each other too.

This book seems like it would be perfect for an older brother or sister. It seems to capture the essence of what it's like to be the big brother and have a new little brother. Just by the cover it's inviting with the illustrations. I am also the oldest out of my family and I know exactly how the big brother feels. It reminds me just how much I really love my little even when she use to be so annoying at times.
ReplyDeleteI think this would be a great book to read to students. Some of them may have younger siblings and/or pregnant moms and reading this book would provide a great opportunity for them to talk about that.
