Emma Dodd.
In an awestruck tone, Nicholas describes all that his older brother does for him. This includes teaching him to count backward and tipping him off that "big brothers don't take naps"--as Nicholas will soon find out firsthand. Rather ingeniously, the book speaks at once to younger and older sibs. With its rushed-looking lines, the digitally rendered art has a childlike appearance.
