School Library Journal - 09/01/2025 K-Gr 1—Bradley, a young boy with tan skin, brown hair, and freckles, teaches readers how to drive their brothers wild. His brother, Liam, is made out to be a stereotypical teen, annoyed at having to babysit his little brother. Bradley shows several things that make his brother go "bananas," such as hiding and playing with the television remote or playing hide-and-seek with a few twists. Mischievous actions, like Bradley's tricking Liam by hiding a fake snake in the bed, will be familiar to children with siblings. The book employs a combination of simple and complex sentences but only one or two sentences per page. Illustrations are colorful and detailed, supporting the text and providing aid for early readers to better understand the story. Children will enjoy Bradley just as they adore David Shannon's No, David!VERDICT The high jinks of a younger brother will be enjoyed by children, especially those with siblings.—Anna Kambach - Copyright 2025 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
