This lively, cheerful picture book takes a positive look at one of the changes the arrival of a new baby can bring. -- Andrea Reece * Lovereading4Kids * A little girl faces a big reality: there's a new baby in the house, and her status has changed... The pastel illustrations and gentle rhymes work to reassure young readers, until the girl, at last, starts to feel a sort of superior compassion for her helpless baby brother. * Booklist * The combination of Anthea Simmons' gently humorous rhyming words and Georgie Birkett's adorable scenes of family life is a total delight. * Red Reading Hub *More details
