Description: "Nano and his older brother, Felix, are best friends who read each other's minds and have super-secret phrases, like "totally grape." They do everything together! Like playing dino smash monster truckers ("Hey! That's MY car!") or being a pair of totally amazing artistes-until somebody's squiggly line crosses straight through Felix's perfect picture ("Moooom! Look what Nano has done!"). Nano can't wait to join Felix, the bestest big brother ever, inside his incredible tree house ... but hang on, what's that sign that says "No Nanos Allowed"? Fine! He'll just build his own tree house ... or rain house ... wind or no wind ..."--Provided by publisher.

Review Quotes: The dynamics of two brothers is charmingly centered in this book. . . . Ideal for the sibling shelves, this book whimsically captures the very real turbulence of relationships. Young children will have fun watching Nano and Felix play, argue, and reconcile.
--School Library Journal

Captures an all-too-common family situation--siblings (particularly the elder) needing space from the adoring younger--with empathic authenticity and inviting humor. His text holds inventive whimsy. . . .His riotous, vibrant art fills every page. . . .An entertainingly energetic, thoroughly realistic capsule of siblings.
