Description

Over the course of a day, big brother Albert manages his interactions with his little brother Baxter and the feelings that result, in this relatable romp through the alphabet.

Big brother Albert gets increasingly frustrated with little brother Baxter. Crying! Diaper! Hungry! Irritated! A normal day and a familiar sibling interaction escalate alphabetically until Grandma resolves all the problems, with an X for a kiss goodnight, followed by Yawn, and, of course, ZZZZ.

Praise for Albert's ABCs: A Sibling Story

"The perfect selection to share with a new—and frustrated—big sibling."—Kirkus Reviews

"A highly relatable look at the complexity of an entire sibling relationship using only 26 words."—School Library Journal

"A slight concept quickly proves page-turning in the experienced hands of Cole, whose fluid, digitally rendered vignettes are little gems of comedy and character."—Publishers Weekly
