Okay, this book is written by author David McPhail. The book talks about the relationship between big and little brothers. I visited the library with two of my little ones, and I loved it. As my eight-year-old son read the book, his face lit up with glee, immediately he saw the truth in the writing. It talks about how a little brother gets away with not doing chores, and wants to wear big brother's clothes. This is a great read, and it helps children see that the annoying behaviors of their siblings are felt by others.
Now, I blogged about the poetry chapter last week in error, but I'll do it again. I, unlike Mrs. Pickett, enjoy poetry. Poetry is varied in it's styles, and comes in many shapes and sizes. I truly enjoy reading poetry, but writing it is so much fun too! I think that as a teacher, I would focus on trying to make poetry fun and I liked the idea of poetry slams.
I loved the Maya Angelou clips, and okay, I got a bit emotional as I listened to these interviews. Hearing Maya Angelou talk about not placing boundaries on our lives, and living to the fullest made me feel like I could acheive all my dreams. I have decided to pursue my master's degree in reading, and to become a published writer/author. Thanks, Mrs. Pickett for showing me these enlightening clips.

I really liked the book My Little Brother. I like realistic books, and this is one of the best if a child reads it and can relate to it as you say your son did. Thanksfor sharing.
