I have two older brothers and this book made me imagine/hope that this was like their relationship! It was such a cute book. Also, I loved that the cookie recipe was included in the back. Something fun to do after reading!
Great when talking about siblings or family. Could use this for "family week" and read each story throughout the week and then have your students write something about their family/sibling. Great for students who are in a higher grade, moving into chapter books.
