Need new sibling gift for 6 yo boy

[94bruin]

Close friends of ours are in the last stages of adopting a 2nd child (baby is already 8 weeks old.) In addition to the I See Me book I'm giving to the new baby, I'd like to give big brother a gift as well. I thought of big brother books, but he's an advance reader and I'm not sure if there are any books suited for his level as they all seemed geared toward toddlers.

Doesn't necessarily have to be a book.

Any suggestions?

I just sent some Batman action figures to a new 5 year old big brother and he was absolutely thrilled. :-)

You are probably looking for something fun for the sibling, such as a toy, and this isn't really that, but it's a really cool book. http://www.amazon.com/My-New-Baby-And-Me/dp/0684187124/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1349473128&sr=8-1&keywords=metropolitan+museum+big+brother+book
There's a used copy of the book selling for $4 on Amazon with free shipping if you have prime--item is described as very good condition with slight wear to the edges and cover.


As for toys, maybe a pillow pet or a Thinkfun game for one player, such as Rushhour Jr.

I just gave my 6 y/o 'big boy' walkie talkies. He loved them!

I got them at walmart and paid less than $20 and they were a huge hit!
