Description

Brad is angry that Sis has all new things while he must settle for old ones, until he realises he has something new that she does not.

Quick Summary

If you've got a kid just starting to read on their own, this tiny book is a gem they'll finish it in minutes and feel like a rockstar. It's about Brad, who gets really frustrated watching his sister get all the cool new stuff while he's stuck with hand-me-downs, which any sibling will instantly recognize. The twist at the end is simple but clever, teaching that everyone has something special about them without hitting you over the head with a lesson. What I love is how relatable that jealousy feeling is for little ones, and how quickly it resolves into a smile. This would be perfect for a kid who's just mastering sight words or someone who needs a quick confidence boost at reading time. Fans of early reader books like "Frog and Toad" or "Elephant and Piggie" will appreciate the straightforward storytelling and the real-kid emotions.
