Big brothers are good for all kinds of things: "Brothers can help you climb a tree, push you on a swing, and share a delicious snack." The brothers here, depicted as various kinds of animals, are always available to lend a helping hand to their little siblings or to teach them. But there's one thing big brothers are absolutely best at, and it's giving "lots and lots of love!" Fans of Numeroff and Munsinger's picture books will enjoy sharing this sturdy board-book edition with the younger crowd, particularly brothers-to-be. Also check out the simultaneously published What Sisters Do Best (2012).
