Reviews

"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: theres 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 Birketts adorable scenes of family life is a total delight." * Red Reading Hub *
