    What a gem!, October 11, 2003

    This review is from: I’m a Big Sister (Hardcover)
    This is a terrific book. The main (nameless) character is a big sister now, and she explains what it’s like to have a new baby in the house. (“The new baby is so little…too little to walk, too little to talk, to little to eat candy or apples or ice cream…”) I have given this book to little girls with new siblings, and it has become a daily must-read. The book puts the emphasis on the newness of big-sisterhood rather than on the new baby, and that is a treat when there is a newborn in the house. The girls can really identify with the big sister in the book, and they love seeing that other babies do just what their little sibling does! Of course, the book includes the message that Mom & Dad have enough love for the big sister and the baby, and that a new baby is another part of a loving family.

    Thumbs up from a big sister, June 18, 2001

    This review is from: I’m a Big Sister (Hardcover)
    This book was a gift to my daughter when we announced we were expecting our second child. Prior to his birth, my daughter was only mildly interested, but after he was here, it became a bed time staple. In simple, reassuring language and pictures, a little girl explains that, even though the new baby has brought changes, she is still a special and important part of her family. I especially liked that the book modeled appropriate behavior for older siblings, while acknowleding the realities that accompany the baby (it cries, it needs a lot of attention, and it doesn’t play). This book comes in a big brother version, too. A great gift to bring to the older sibling when you give a baby gift to the younger one.

    A perfect book to introduce the “new baby” to a young child., October 14, 1999

    This review is from: I’m a Big Sister (Hardcover)
    I used this book first to introduce the idea of a new baby to my 2 year old daughter. She loves the pictures of the entire family involved in care of the new baby. She consistently requests this book over all others. I like that the author explains why the baby cries (because she might be wet or hungry) and involves the big sister in the daily care of the child. The importance of big sister’s role in the family is played up. The story is told by the “big sister” and ends with Mom and Dad hugging the big sister and her confident exclamation that they love her and that she’s “the only me.”
