| Plot Summary of The Sibling Thing: How I Went from Prince to Pest in Four Short Years |
|---|
"In this book, three year old Max Turteltaub (transcribed by his grandfather, TV comedy writer Saul) offers his unique perspective on the family's latest addition -- his baby brother Ross. This book is a take on the world of kids' rivalries from a big brother's musings. Baby Ross learns to put aside his vain desire for primacy in the family and learns to accept the temporary dominance of a new baby."
Kristen Havens, Resident Scholar
