In this story of Davy the sheep and his 12 brothers, the illustrations are chock full of details to keep young eyes occupied and to endear each little sheep to the reader. Davy is sick of his 12 brothers doing everything he does…until the day they don’t. A surprise ending adds further charm to this winner Davy was happy as an only child, with all of his parents' love and attention. Then a younger brother named Petey arrived. And then another one, named Mike. One by one, more brothers showed up, until Davy was the eldest of twelve! Suddenly, he was never alone - always shadowed by his younger brothers, always being imitated, until he was fed up. But would being left alone turn out as happily as he'd thought? This is a 'new sibling' book with a vengeance! I don't think I've ever seen an example of the story type quite like Another Brother, which features a very large (sheep) family indeed. The humor builds, as each new brother arrives, and culminates with the scenes in which all the brothers' names are listed together, as they follow Davy around. There is a certain poignancy to the moment when our ovine hero finally gets his wish, and a corresponding pleasure, when his first Another brother is about a sheep who was an only child until his parents have lots more baby boys. All the attention is now placed on the younger children until they have a girl. Then the oldest sheep has his sister follow him around and give him attention. This book is about sharing with your siblings and friends. It could help children to learn to share. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

There is a surprise ending in store for the reader, too. One that’s not too sweet, but shows that while little siblings can be annoying, they’re also very lovable.
This book is is great, but the illustrations are too small for story time. Recommended for older siblings. ( )
