PreS-Gr 3âIn the beginning, it was Mom, Dad, and Davy. For years, the little sheep basked in the love of his small family. Then along came Petey, then Mike, and then Stu. The formerly close-knit family eventually becomes a mob, and Davy is stuck with "12 WHOLE BROTHERS," who nightmarishly copy his every move. Dad explains to Davy, "When they get older, your brothers will have their own interests. Then they won't copy you." It takes a while, but his father's prediction eventually comes to pass, much to Davy's chagrin. The pen-and-ink and watercolor artwork is filled with humorous detail. Think Richard Scarry's warmth and scale, with a minimalist approach to setting. The psychology of the oldest child is well chronicled here. With a delightfully fulfilling ending, Davy (and readers) realize that being the one and only sometimes means being alone, and lonely. The story is a great way to discuss life as a half-empty or half-full vessel, and the very human struggles of sibling rivalry.âSara Lissa Paulson, American Sign Language and English Lower School PS 347, New York City
