This is a great book! I've used it in so many different situations. I read it to my kids when they were small. We talked about how sometimes having brothers and sisters is hard work. I've also read it to middle school - high school students as a conversation starter about family issues and running away from problems. My sister gave it to my daughter as she went to college and reminded her that moving away doesn't mean there won't be challenges. Alexander is truly a loveable character. Sometimes, I'd like to book a ticket to Australia and join him!
