You should read this book!

This book has good pictures. I think the title is cool. When the little mouse said boo it was funny. It was interesting because the animals are afraid of a little mouse. It was not really scary.

My three year old grandson, then two. . .loved the excitement waiting for Big Bro. Because of the wonderful stories and comfortable illustrations by Jez Alborough, we have enjoyed and memorized other titles such as the "My Friend Bear" series.

Alborough has likely Caldecott candidate in "Big Bro"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
Lively illustrations in bright colors, combined with an engaging and increasingly aniticipatory text, make Jez Alborough's "Watch out! Big Bro's coming!" an excellent candidate for a Caldecot nod. Especially note-worthy is Alborough's use of varying perspective to enhance the reader's feeling of escape into the story. When little bro' comes running back toward his frightened friends who are hiding in the jungle underbrush, we are looking out from our hiding spot as well. A fine book, and one which breaks from the current trend of picture books aimed more for adult buyers than juvenile readers. I read this for story hour the day I received it and the toddler crowd loved it. Highly recommended.
