This story teaches children how to engage in group activities and seeing the viewpoint of other people.
This book works pretty well for visualizing, the students can visualize and draw what they think the teacher would look like as a baby. They can also bring their own baby pictures to school for guessing the baby. I would use this activity in a 1st grade classroom.
After a baby brother visits class, they play guess the baby using their own baby pictures. It all comes down to one...the teacher. Students make the connection that grown ups were babies once also.

It is only through the intervention of their joint mysterious friend Julia ( who seems to be hiding a lot of secrets) that Kieran begins to see what a lousy ( other brother) i.e. cousin he really is.
Liked how it was directly from Kieran's point of view and how you could understand him feeling put out by all the sudden changes in his life.
Could be for 5-6 students who are mature enough to understand Kieran's thought processes and what the author is trying to achieve with them.… (mere)
