A chatty little girl and her patient older brother share an easy bond in a charming early chapter book filled with warmth and wry humor. Annie and Simon: little sister and big, big brother. Annie likes to talk -- a lot -- about what she's going to be when she grows up, about the clouds and rain and umbrellas, about picnics in the park and meteors, about loons and canoes and turtles. And Simon is a very good listener. He knows a lot about the stars and the weather, how to fix bee stings, and where to look for loons. He knows a lot about being the kind of big brother that keeps a little sister smiling. Whether they are poking around the garden or paddling through a marsh, curious Annie and patient Simon are siblings who are clearly happy in each other's company.
From the author of National Book Award finalist Hey, Kiddo. Annie was warned to stay away from the creepy Mongomery mansion. Did it have spiders? Did it have bats? Was it haunted? Annie was warned . . . but Annie wasn't scared. Or was she?
All Annie ever wanted was to make music. And why not? Her brother, Lee, played wonderful music on the trumpet. Her sister, Patty, could make her think of springtime and beautiful colors whenever she played the piano. Annie wanted to play, too. She just couldn't play an instrument, even though she tried, and tried, and tried. But Annie doesn't give up. Not until she finds her own special gifts.
Matthew Cordell, the author-illustrator of Caldecott Medal winner Wolf in the Snow, crafts a delightful picture book about new siblings and growing families in Another Brother.
Life for Davy was glorious, as long as he had his mother and father to himself.
But then he got a brother, Petey. When Davy sang, Petey cried. When Davy created a masterpiece, Petey spat up on it.
And then he got another brother, Mike!
And another, Stu!
And another, Mickey!
And another . . . and another. . . .
Until Davy had
12 whole brothers!
And that was only the beginning. . . .
Praise for Another Brother
"Cordell emphasizes the humor in the once only child's whiplash of conflicting emotions. Baby brothers may be a pain, but the havoc they create can be painfully funny." --The New York Times
"The pen-and-ink and watercolor artwork is filled with humorous detail. Think Richard Scarry's warmth and scale, with a minimalist approach to setting. . . . The story is a great way to discuss life as a half-empty or half-full vessel, and the very human struggles of sibling rivalry." --School Library Journal, starred review
Life is Rich, sighed Jack, as he settled back in his job as Chief Flavor Tester for the World's Best Ice Cream Company. This is turning out to be my most perfect day yet!
