I am thankful for receiving this delightful children's book from LibraryThing!
About the Book
From New York, Times-bestselling illustrator Kady MacDonald Denton and award-winning author Cary Fagan come to a charming sibling story that has the makings of a contemporary classic.
Benny's little brother is really good at a lot of things -- making potions and paper airplanes, building forts, putting on puppet shows, even petting the neighbor's cat (he has a special way of scratching her just behind the ears). But whenever he tries to join in Benny's activities, all Benny ever says is "No." Maybe his little brother can watch him do cool stuff if he's lucky. What is a little fox to do, except give Benny a taste of his own medicine? Totally familiar yet fresh and original, tenderly told and consistently funny, this story perfectly captures the joys (and annoyances!) of sibling relationships.
My Thoughts
At times getting along with your younger brother can seem so annoying. Often a younger brother has difficulty connecting with his older brother and waiting for him to play with you can be so difficult. This funny story cleverly was written to show families how to resolve conflicts with siblings. The warm illustrations of the younger and older fox richly enhance the storyline. After many unsuccessful attempts to connect with his older brother Benny, the little fox finds a way to reach and involve his brother in a fun activity. This is a beautiful book for home and school library.
4/5 stars.
