Product Description
Mouse has some hot news! Big Bro is coming! He's rough and tough and very big, he says. The news spreads from animal to animal, each adding a little embellishment of their own - until everyone is scared stiff! But when, at last, Big Bro turns up, he is just another mouse!

You should read this book!, 2007-04-23
This book has good pictures. I think the title is cool. When the little mouse said boo it was funny. It was interesting because the animals are afraid of a little mouse. It was not really scary.
Jez Alborough books . . ., 2003-11-09
My three year old grandson, then two. . .loved the excitement waiting for Big Bro. Because of the wonderful stories and comfortable illustrations by Jez Alborough, we have enjoyed and memorized other titles such as the "My Friend Bear" series.
MY friend the Bear By Jez Alborough, 2003-01-01
This book My Friend the Bear by Jez Alborough is wonderfully
written . And Children will love the way a wonderful friendship
developes between a boy and a bear. This book teaching children
that no matter what your new friend looks like to look inside their heart, as Eddie the boy did when he and the bear became
friends. We all could learn alot from Eddie and the Bear about
being friendly to each other.
Alborough has likely Caldecott candidate in "Big Bro", 1997-08-19
Lively illustrations in bright colors, combined with an engaging and increasingly aniticipatory text, make Jez Alborough's "Watch out! Big Bro's coming!" an excellent candidate for a Caldecot nod.
Especially note-worthy is Alborough's use of varying perspective to enhance the reader's feeling of escape into the story. When little bro' comes running back toward his frightened friends who are hiding in the jungle underbrush, we are looking out from our hiding spot as well.
A fine book, and one which breaks from the current trend of picture books aimed more for adult buyers than juvenile readers. I read this for story hour the day I received it and the toddler crowd loved it.
Highly recommended.
