Not an appealing book in any way (for me). My kids liked some of the illustrations and wanted to look through it several times, but there isn't much of a story—just contentious bickering between siblings without any real resolution.

{My thoughts} – This is the first David Book that I have had the pleasure of reading. I read it out loud to my two year old. She seemed to enjoy it well enough. She is always eager to listen to a new book and discover the story that is hidden within the pages.

This book catches the older and younger sibling dynamic perfectly. I enjoyed how spot on it is when looking at it through a young child’s eyes.

I think that any younger sibling in a family could benefit from reading this book. I think they’d really enjoy it a lot. It has few words and nice bright incredible illustrations that help to pull the reader in. It has the potential to make a great addition on any child’s bookshelf.

Re-read this one, and both my boys (10 & 7) and I did not like it. We love all the other David books, but this one made us feel icky inside.

The trials and triumphs of a little brother, illustrated kid-style. Lots of laughs and some empathy from this reader!

David suddenly has a big brother, who seems annoyed with him (totally understand, I had two younger brothers). Of course, it ends like all other books in this series...they do get along. My only issue with this book is that the brother seems to come out of nowhere—-where was he in any of the other books?
