Little Croc has tons of fun with his big brother Boris until he starts spending more time with his friends and leaving Little Croc out. Little Croc is planning games and a cake for his brother’s birthday party but when Boris appears with a snout ring and rows with Mum and Dad he declares he doesn’t want a party. Little Croc is in despair but Granny and Grandpa come up with a clever idea to remind Mum and Dad what it was like to be young. Boris and Little Croc enjoy playing the party games together and Little Croc realizes Boris is the best big brother in the whole world. Vivid colours and a comic-strip feel bring out the humour of the inter-generational conflict and maintain a bright and reassuring mood.

My Big Brother, Boris
Shows children that teenage siblings, although they spend more time with their friends and sometimes argue with Mum and Dad, will always love them and remain part of the family.
