review 1: This is a great book in which little Otto, on his 6th birthday, wishes his baby sister Anna disappears. In wishing in her disappearance, Otto in turn grows down and starts to get younger. Everything happens to Otto backwards, and every birthday Otto wishes (or tries with his decreasing speech abilities) to wish the reversal of his original wish. This is a humorous book that gets a LOT of laughs from students, (and even has a few gross out moments they love). This would also be a great recommendation for a student that has a new addition to the family and is having a hard time coping. Maybe at the end of the book, they will love and appreciate their sibling as much as Otto loves and appreciates Anna.
review 2: Dude, it's just like Benjamin Button. Sort of. On hi... mores sixth birthday, a boy wishes his sister was never born as he blows out the candles. And it really happens! Time starts moving backwards from then on out. They bring in the garbage, take a bath when they are clean to get dirty, etc. It's all good, until the boy gets younger and younger, then realizes that he too will never be born soon. less
