(4) K-3 Illustrated by Luc Melanson. Reflecting back on "when I was a little kid," a narrator (presumably the author as a boy) describes how his two older brothers teased, injured, defended, and entertained him. Brotherly love permeates the humorous illustrations featuring three grubby-looking kids with bad haircuts. The episodic anecdotes, while amusing, could have been better shaped in service of the whole.
