Synopsis
Approximately 60 humorous animal photos complement this collection of witty sayings on the nature of brotherhood, friendship among siblings, and the unique bond between brothers (and their sisters!). A fine little gift book, Yo Bro! mixes humor with inspiring thoughts from many different commentators, all brought together here and edited by Tom Burns, who is noted for his several collections of meaningful quotations. Words of wisdom on the theme of brotherhood include musings on the nature of life, loyalty among siblings, and memories of enjoyable occasions with the boys and men of the family. It's a great book for browsing, and its humorous animal photographs perfectly match its gems of homespun wit and wisdom.
