The Two Brothers is based on an Alexander Dumas (père) fairy tale written during one of the two periods in which he wrote stories for children: 1832 to 1844 and 1852 to 1860. Between these two periods he wrote his great romantic novels, including The Three Musketeers (1844). In 1838 Dumas took a trip down the Rhine, absorbing the wondrous folk tales of that region, many of which live today in Wagner’s operas. In 1839 he published The Adventures of Lyderic, which was packaged with The Two Brothers and published in 2008 by Groupe Privat/Le Rocher in their Collection Motifs as Motifs no. 315. In The Two Brothers Dumas creates several magical scenes where five different animals talk and do the bidding of the brothers. In these episodes each animal repeats a phrase or action in a way that is delightfully childlike. The tale develops the moral strengths of brotherhood, perseverance, patience, truth, courage, and faithfulness. The loyalty and fellowship of the five animals, all natural enemies, echoes and reinforces the story’s moral themes. Each brother and his animals becomes a family, where the clash of characters is both colorful and a source of strength.

Russell and Shawn call themselves the PS Brothers: P is for poop, S is for scoop, and Brothers is because they’re best friends. Scooping poop is the fastest way to earn money to buy a puppy.

Author Honoré de Balzac was a French novelist and playwright. His magnum opus was a sequence of short stories and novels collectively entitled La Comédie Humaine, which presents a panorama of French life in the years after the 1815 Fall of Napoleon Bonaparte. Owing to his keen observation of detail and unfiltered representation of society, Balzac is regarded as one of the founders of realism in European literature.He is renowned for his multifaceted characters, who are morally ambiguous. His writing influenced many subsequent novelists such as Marcel Proust, Émile Zola, Charles Dickens, Anthony Trollope, Edgar Allan Poe, Eça de Queirós, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Oscar Wilde, Gustave Flaubert, Benito Pérez Galdós, Marie Corelli, Henry James, William Faulkner, Jack Kerouac, and Italo Calvino, and philosophers such as Friedrich Engels and Karl Marx. Many of Balzac's works have been made into or have inspired films, and they are a continuing source of inspiration for writers, filmmakers and critics.

The Brothers' Bakery is a story inspired from the folktale, Little Jack and Lazy John. The book is written in poetic verse form and staged in a colorful depiction of the medieval era. Its intended audience is kindergarten through age eleven, but also appeals to those in their teens as well as adults. This fictional picture book is about twin brothers, Pimal and Jimal, who own and operate the family bakery in the city of Dane. One day, the greedy king from the kingdom ventures into the shop and takes a fond liking to all he sees. He decides to make Jimal an offer for the sweet smelling bakery. When Jimal graciously declines the king's offer, the king becomes furious. Not wanting to appear greedy and unjust by simply seizing the bakery, he decides to challenge Jimal to a contest with the bakery as the prize. When Pimal returns home, Jimal tells him about the king's proposition and Pimal, the wiser of the brothers, cleverly devises a plan of his own to keep the bakery out of the hands of the greedy king.
