Bookroo's summary

Anthony's younger brother endures constant teasing and exclusion, dreaming of the day he'll be bigger and can finally stand up to him. Will turning six change everything? A timeless tale of sibling rivalry unfolds.

From the publisher

A little brother imagines how great life will be once he’s bigger than his older brother in this classic, saucy tale of sibling rivalry from master storyteller Judith Viorst.

Mother says deep down in his heart Anthony loves me. Anthony says deep down in his heart he thinks I stink.

Anthony’s younger brother puts up with a lot. Anthony won’t read to him. Anthony is always threating to clobber him. Anthony thinks he stinks. There’s nothing he can do now…but just wait until he’s six! Then he’ll fix Anthony! Judith Viorst’s funny, classic sibling rivalry story is as timeless as ever.
