This is an engaging slapstick sidesplitter with a setting in the jungle. Mouse cries for help and causes a chain reaction when he describes the oncoming force of Big Bro as “rough, and tough, and BIG…”
The book is filled with colourful animals of different sizes, and features an important lesson on jumping to conclusions and “spreading the word” with added detail (or misinterpreting what others say…). It also opens discussion about the fact that size is relative.
It is a great gift to someone who is becoming a big brother, or anyone who has a big brother, and it can instill the responsibility of a big brother, or the added benefits of having one.
