(3) PS Illustrated by David McPhail. "You burp, they giggle with delight... / But if I do, it's not polite." A boy is fed up with being a big brother until his mother shows him the light. As common as sibling rivalry books are, this one's noteworthy: Ashman's rhymes are impeccable, and McPhail has a gift for portraying the intimacy of domestic situations.
