Nicholas has an older brother named James. Nicholas tells of all the wonderful and caring things James does for him. James holds Nicholas's hand while crossing the street, lets him try on his way-too-big red boots, and even searches for his favorite animals on the computer. James tells Nicholas a little secret, and together they come up with names for this secret. James, being the generous big brother that he is, lets Nicholas choose the name...for their baby sister.
This book is very sweet and it provides insight on the relationship and 'duties' of a big brother. Big brothers are super busy, therefore big brothers don't take naps. I would use this book in my classroom as a read aloud or for independent reading. I could use this book in my classroom during a learning about relationships and community lesson plan.
