My Little Brother-我那個，討厭鬼的弟弟
My Little Brother
我那個，討厭鬼的弟弟
If you've got a younger brother, you'll know what a bother he can be!
Don't you sometimes wish you could make your little brother disappear?
在你小的時候，是不是常覺得有個討厭鬼一直跟著你，你也不知道為什麼?不管他做什麼，就是覺得不對勁，當有一天，不在你身旁時，你還是覺得不對勁，那種奇妙的感覺，小時候大家一定經歷過，這種微妙又說不出的感覺。哈~~這應該就是所謂的親情吧!!
My little brother is a pest.
He wakes me up at dawn with his leaky teddy,
copies everything I do,
follows me round like a shadow,
and won't let me go to sleep at night.
I tried feeding him to wild beast, but she only yawned,
and got on with finding a place to have her kittens.
<有發現她是懷孕的母貓嗎?>
這本書的繪圖，仔細觀察，有許多線索可以尋找，此書的插圖充滿趣味性。
One night something woke me up.
It was dark. The wind was making a whoo-whooing noise.
I looked to see if my little brother was awake....
but his bed was empty.
The sitting room was empty. He wasn't there either.
I began to feel a bit worried.
<有發現壁爐的磚塊，是連續動作所構圖成的嗎?>
Maybe the vanishing cream had vanished him!
Maybe the magic spell had worked!
I was really worried.
I looked up the chimney....
抱枕上，貓的表情、人物的動作、月亮的眼神，都使繪本充滿濃濃的故事性。
And even though he is a pest,
I don't ever want my little brother to disappear again!
討厭鬼不見了，因他躲到儲藏櫃陪小貓睡覺。
母貓生了五隻小貓的插曲結構，讓整個故事有個完美的結局。
