Review:
WHAT I LIKED
- The sentences were short and sweet...perfect for children since they're attention span lasts a short while.
- This book can help children appreciate and understand the role of a big brother or big sister. Children who aren't sure or too happy about the new baby can understand that they can become helpers for mommy and daddy. The book also gives it an "I'm the boss" feel to it.
- The illustrations are colorful and pleasing to the eye.
- It explains the joy of being the older sibling. Doesn't make it out to be such a bad thing.
- This book shows that just because there's a new baby, doesn't mean parents love you any less.
This was a cute book, not only for older siblings, but for younger siblings also. There's also a Big Brothers are the Best version too!

It is a cute book! Perfect for new big bro/sis!
Well, I was a big sister. I'm not sure I was the best, but I wasn't too bad.
This looks like a cute book for helping kids make adjustments.
Donna, I'm a big sis, too. Spoiled my brother and sister (which may not have been the best thing, lol) and treated them like they were mine. :D
