My now very grown up son loved this book as a child. He was the little brother....his older brother didn't think it near as funny. I later found other older siblings who didn't find it half a hilarous as the younger brothers and sisters did. So whose book shelf is it on all these years later? Mine!

4.0 out of 5 stars I'LL FIX ANTHONy, September 25, 2003

A Kid's Review

This review is from: I'll Fix Anthony (Aladdin Picture Books) (Paperback)

This book is made for children ages four to seven. This book is about a boy whose name is not mentioned in the book. This boy has a very mean older brother named Anthony. All the boy ever wants to do is play with his brother Anthony, he even lets Anthony barrow and play with all his things. Anthony is vary mean to his little brother even though his little brother is nice to him. Well the little boy says when he turns six everything is going to change and he will be the boss of Anthony. It gives many funny examples of how things will change when he turns six. This is a great book for children, it teaches them not to be a bully to other people because someday that person may come back later in life and treat them that way.
