Becoming a big brother is an exciting time full of smiles, smells, hugs, and kisses. This is the perfect book for transitioning a toddler into siblinghood. It helps young ones prepare for a new baby and also focuses on all of the things a big brother can do that a baby can't do.
"These two books are identical with the exception of the illustrations and a few word substitutions. The stories follow a preschooler who has just become an older sibling. The narrator tells what it is like to be a big brother or sister, explaining things like sleeping in a big bed versus a crib, that babies can be loud when they are hungry or when they need a new diaper, that you need to be quiet when they’re asleep, and that you need to be gentle when you hug them. Manushkin also emphasizes that even older siblings aren’t too big to be held on Mommy’s lap or ride on Daddy’s back and that having alone time with the parent is still especially important for them. . . .the books are excellent introductions to the topic and could be greatly utilized." - School Library Journal

"...would be good for young children experiencing the addition of a baby to the family. The book depicts scenarios that compare and contrast being a baby and being a “big brother” and shows ways that the older child can still share special times with his parents." - Denton ISD

Fran writes on her beloved Mac computer in New York City, without the help of her two naughty cats, Chaim and Goldy.
