A warm, funny celebration of brothers from acclaimed author-illustrator Anthony Browne.
Anthony Browne is the acclaimed author and illustrator of such
prize-winning bestsellers as Gorilla (winner of the Kate Greenaway
Medal and the Kurt Maschler Award), Willy the Wizard, My Dad,
Voices in the Park (winner of Kurt Maschler Award) and Zoo (winner
of the Kate Greenaway Medal).
In 2009, Anthony was appointed Children's Laureate, in recognition
of his outstanding contribution to the world of picture books.
Anthony was also the first British winner of the Hans Christian
Andersen Award, one of the highest international honours for
illustration. His work has been widely exhibited and his books are
published all over the world.
A sweet ode to boyhood that demonstrates the high esteem in which
surprising qualities - such as whistling - can be regarded in a
young child's mind
*Junior*
Browne has woven in lots of details for the observant child to
discover. Whimsical cartoon characters are sketched in coloured
pencil on lined notepaper and you get the feeling a child played a
part in the making of this book
*Irish Independent*
As we have come to expect from Anthony Browne, this picture book is
full of wonderful illustrations and imaginative text. It is a great
book for discussing a child's place in the family and things they
like about each other and would be useful resource for introducing
a topic on the family and ourselves. A brilliant book for brothers
to share

In another nod to brotherly loves comes My Brother by Anthony Browne, a follow-up to My Mom and My Dad (described by PW as "an endearing paean to patriarchs"). A younger brother chronicles everything "cool" about his older brother: his jumping, climbing, skateboarding, bubble blowing, dancing and more. As the list grows longer, the younger sibling-clearly influenced by his older brother's style-realizes that he's pretty cool himself. (FSG, $16.00 32p ages 5-up ISBN 978-0-374-35120-5; Apr.)
