Can anyone name this children's book?

I remember reading a book when I was in elementary school in which the main character was one of three brothers in an immigrant family. This was during the turn of the 20th century. Two main things I remember from this book:





1. One of the brothers got mumps and his other two brothers were made to get into bed with him so that they would all get mumps at the same time





2. When one of the boys acted up, his punishment was "silent treatment," no one was allowed to talk to him





I think one of the boys was named Sven but I'm not sure. Can anyone help??

Reply:I remember reading that book too! Unfortunately I also cannot recall the name of it. Could it possibly have been "The Great Brain"? It's the only one that comes to mind.
