A must-by for all with two children!
|
A friend gave us this book upon the birth of our second child and I'm sure it made a substantial contribution to the fantastic relationship which my boys have with each other. It helps the older child to understand that they have a significant role to play in guiding the younger child;'Big Brother knows why,' or as we say: 'You're his teacher!' but that the younger child will also be able to support them when they are going through tough times: 'Little Brother knows why.'
Get it for a friend who has just had their second child. By the way, Penny Dale-or some other budding author-needs to write "Big Sister, Little Sister", "Big Brother, Little Sister" and "Big Sister Little Brother" to cater for the other relevant groupings! But even if your friend has a boy and a girl or two boys, the principles of the story in this book are still relevant! It is also good for the middle child of 3- we now have three boys and my middle son is proud to be both a Big Brother AND a Little Brother!

We borrowed this from the local library- i'm now ordering our own copy! My three year old loves the fact that the "big brother" is like him- knows what his baby brother wants...and the expectation that his little brother will become like the one in the book and want to play with him soon! Penny Dales drawings are lovely- we also like her "Ten in the Bed" book,the story is simple but effective- how the two brothers want to be like each other and understand each other. Its a really nice bedtime story!
