“Alternating between the realistic setting of the children’s room and fantasy adventures, the retro, cartoon-style illustrations fill in many details of the boy’s ideas. Flat, bright colors with black details for contrast create humorous, appealing images. Full bleed two-page spreads allow readers to take in scenes at an unhurried pace.” —Booklist

“With simple, straightforward text addressed directly to the wide-eyed toddler, the older brother gamely lists the types of adventures they’ll have, from playing trains and planes and hide-and-seek to pretending to be dinosaurs. There is not a drop of sibling rivalry or animosity here. Penfold’s earnest story portrays a child who’s proud to be a big brother and takes his responsibilities seriously. . .Kaban’s playful cartoon art has a retro-modern vibe, with expressive facial features and cheerful energy.” —School Library Journal

“Sibling rivalry? What sibling rivalry? Penfold’s cheerful big brother narrator is totally cool with having a baby brother. He looks forward to ‘adventures, just the two of us,’ that include pretend play with ‘trains, and planes, and how to be a dinosaur.’ Most poignantly, he promises, ‘When you cry... I will hear you first.’ Kaban—whose crisp lines, bright colors, and eager-eyed characterizations bring to mind 1960s animation—builds some wonderful images from Penfold’s words.” —Publishers Weekly
