Review
A sweet ode to boyhood that demonstrates the high esteem in which surprising qualities - such as whistling - can be regarded in a young child's mind. Junior 20070801 As we have come to expect from Anthony Browne, this picture book is full of wonderful illustrations and imaginative text. It is a great book for discussing a child's place in the family and things they like about each other and would be useful resource for introducing a topic on the family and ourselves. A brilliant book for brothers to share. Write Away 20071115 Quiet brilliance Parenting 20070801 Browne has woven in lots of details for the observant child to discover. Whimsical cartoon characters are sketched in coloured pencil on lined notepaper and you get the feeling a child played a part in the making of this book. The Irish Independent 20071204 The illustrations are quirky and entertaining INIS 20071201

Another picture book to delight his fans! 'My Brother' has been a wonderful recent addition to the bookshelf in my Year 3 classroom. After enjoying the 'My Mum' and 'My Dad' books in Literacy lessons, the children rushed to read 'My Brother' and have found so many 'things' to tell me about in those clever Anthony Browne illustrations.

My Brother
10 May 2007
Format:Hardcover
Browne, Anthony, My Brother, Farrar Straus Giroux, 2007
In this new addition to his entertaining series extolling his family members ( My Father; My Mother) the narrator showcases some of the ways that his brother is cool and he ends with a nice dab of self-esteem when he says, I'm cool too!" On the front cover is a picture of the boy who is being admired by his sibling; it also depicts a little circle with the words, "He's cool! (sometimes)" inside. The end papers feature circles with words and phrases like: "My Pal", "Super Brother", "Fab", "Brothers 4 ever!" and the title page sports a "cool" photograph of a young boy, presumably the author's cool brother. A simple affirmation like, "My brother's a SUPER skateboarder," is accompanied by an illustration that shows the brother riding a skateboard upside down; labels point to his "cool kneepads", "cool skateboard" "cool helmet". Another page claims, "He can blow AMAZING bubbles. He's REALLY COOL, my brother" and pictures a very large pink bubble labeled "cool bubble". Bright colors stand out clearly on white lined notebook paper so it resembles a child's creation. On the back cover are the words, What's YOURS (sibling) like?" Teachers may want to encourage their students to imagine their own positive feelings about a sibling or a friend. Share this book with preschoolers - 2nd graders.
