review 1: In this hilarious story told in a series of notes, Alex tries to convince his parents he shouldn't have to share a room with his little brother. Alex's imaginative reasoning is eclipsed only by the delightfully whimsical pictures throughout, and the satisfying ending makes the story worth the read. While this book stands alone very nicely, it also ties into the authors' earlier book, I Wanna Iguana.
review 2: This book is about a young boy who has to share a room with his little brother after his sister is born. The book consists of letters he writes to his parents to persuade them to give him his own room, and their responses. The book ends with the boy getting his own tree house, which he learns is no fun without having someone to play with. I would use this... more book to talk about persuasion. I would write a class letter with my students to try to persuade a change win our school. I would then have students write their own persuasive letters. less
