In this episodic tale that s rich with Cary Fagan s characteristically dry humor, a boy tells the story of his life with two older brothers. When he is only a week old, his brothers argue over who can hold him first and drop him onto the porch. But they aren t all bad: they chase away the mean girls who call him names, and they perform a play starring the neighbor s dog to cheer him up when he has the measles. Later on these troublesome boys set fire to neighbor s tree, play football in the living room, and even attempt to ride their banana bikes all the way to the Rocky Mountains. Inspired by Cary Fagan s childhood experiences, this story is a spot-on portrayal of the crazy, mishap-filled, yet undeniably fun and affectionate life in a family with three boys. Luc Melanson s wonderfully lively and extremely funny retro-style illustrations are a perfect complement to the text."
