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!

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.

My grandson loved it as much as his dad did 32 years ago////we laughed & cried, too. good preview to new sibling problems.

This book was a favorite of mine as a child and I was glad to find it again. Given as a gift to my great-nephew who enjoyed it.

My daughter had to have this for her kids...she loved it when she was one and always had fond memories of reading it with me (her mom).

This was one of my twin sister and my favorite books as a kid. My parents read it to us at least a thousand times. I am almost 24 years old now and will be ordering it for my newborn daughter. This book is funny and teaches a great lesson. Judith Viorst is a great children's author.

I love this book! I read this when I was a kindergarten teacher and my own children had a copy-it is tattered from many years of use but I have now read it to my grandsons(age 4) they like it too!
It is helpful to know that you'll get bigger and be able to do all the things an older sibling can do with no trouble! It makes for great read-a loud reading!

I have searched bookstores for a year looking for this book. I couldn't even remember the title, but I remember the story and wanted to read it again. I am now 32, and had it read to me often when I was little (I think when I was 6). I have a little brother 2 years younger and we both related to this book. At the time I guess I was like Anthony, even though I am female. My Mom used to encourage my brother that things would be better when he was six :-) (fat chance). "Where the wild things are" was my brother's fav and "When I'm six, i'll fix anthony" was definitely mine.

My children like the things Alexander plans to do to Anthony. But my 2 younger kids (4 and 3) do not understand that it is just day dreaming. They are also a bit confused that Alexander can do all these thing and still get away with it. The story is also a little too long. But for the older boy (6) this is a great book.

Man, that Anthony thinks he's so great, well as soon as... uhh, the other kid in the book turns six things are gonna change. Hoooaah, he's going to make little anthony his little white faced reeces monkey! Exlamatory baby!
