This book talks about how the narrators brother, Sammy, is different. It's repetitious on each page saying what Sammy does different and the mother letting the narrator know it's because he's special. Then the narrator wishing his brother could do what him and his friends are doing. He gets increasing frustrated with his brother and talks about how it isn't easy having a special brother. When Sammy knocks down his block tower, he gets so upset that he rants on about how he doesn't want a special brother and how he wants someone to do normal things with. He ends up seeing how being different isn't bad and it can be fun when they both build and knock down towers. I like how in this book, the narrator does the things Sammy likes doing. He didn't think they were fun or made sense but when he actually tried it with his brother, he saw how it's fun in a different way. "Don't knock it 'til you try it" is a phrase I'd use for this book.
