Illustrator: Same
Genre: Fiction
Sub genre: Realism

Primary and secondary characters: Morton and his little brother

Publishing Company: Lectorum Publications, Inc.

     This is a charming book where one little boy finds out just how special it is to have a little brother. Morton is sick and tired of having to play with his baby brother when he cannot really do anything. Morton imagines all the things he wishes he had instead of a brother. He thinks about all the fun he could have with a dragon, but realizes some funny problems he would run into if he had one.
     This book is written in both Spanish and English, therefor it would be great for ELL students or in a Spanish class. The book is for children from ages 3-7 and would make an excellent teaching tool.
