Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-K-- A small boy treasures the time his brother spends with him, and admires the older boy's abilities. He hopes, in time, to be able to play ball, deliver papers, and go to school with his sibling. But for now, he is happy when the two of them play together. This simple, repetitive story paints a reassuring picture of family life and supportive relations. The Spanish text, rendered without regionalisms, is as direct and simple as the English version, but both are bland and unexciting. The watercolor illustrations showing two Hispanic boys are large and colorful; they are good for sharing, but are merely competent in execution. Nonetheless, this possesses a similar sense of admiration and emulation found in Angela Johnson's Do Like Kyla (Orchard, 1990), with the added feature of a Spanish text. Given the simplicity of the narrative, it would probably be most useful as a teaching tool in beginning Spanish language or ESL classes. --Ann Welton, University Child Development School, Seattle

This is an excellent book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Con Mi Hermano/With My Brother (Hardcover)
I bought this book, on a recommendation from Eileen Roe's sister, for my 5 year old son. He really looks up to an older boy down the street & it really complemented the two of them.
