My Brother

Children's Literature

Do you have a brother? Do you know someone who does? Every brother is different. Since no two families are the same, this book explores the various family situations required in order to have brothers. The book also teaches about activities a brother can undertake with his family. Some of the things mentioned in the book are age differences and family types. The photographs add dimension and excitement to the text. A young child who is learning about families will enjoy reading this book and learning about the endless possibilities of brotherhood. The vivid photographs will help small children identify with their own situations, and slightly older children will understand the differences between their families and those of close friends. This book teaches about stepbrothers, half brothers, younger brothers, as well as older brothers. A young child who is learning about family will enjoy this book. 2004, Gareth Stevens Publishing, Ages 3 to 7.
