The big brother in the book is a great example for him to follow.Appropriate for toddlerI bought 3 "new baby" books to prepare my toddler for the arrival of our new baby - they are 21 months apart in age. This book was by far his favorite. I think the illustrations, the pace of the story, and the language was very appropriate to this age (my son was 19 months old when the book arrived).I think parents will like the book too. The story is simple with only a few sentances a page (if that) - so if you toddler likes to turn pages as much as mine - you don't feel like you just missed the entire story. The pictures are really detailed too, so if you want to improvise and add details to talk about whats going on, you can do that too. For the price - this is a great book to give to any new big brother or sister. Very cuteThis book is very cute. My 3 1/2 year old loves it. We're expecting baby #2 and I wanted him to get used to the idea of soon having a new baby in the house. It's a short and simple book and I read it to him probably 10 times in a row the day we got it! He loves it!Great Choice!This book was perfect for my two year old grandson. He loves the Mercer Mayer books already, and was familiar with the character. It explained in simple words some of the things, both positive and negative, about having a new baby in the house. I think this is a great choice for a young child!Not entirely accurate portrayal of life with new babyThis book has a lot of pluses. It shows new parents tired. It illustrates that newborns often cry and aren't developed enough for games or books. But I find myself at times having to amend the text to reflect the realities of "new baby" life. Ex. "What can you do with a new baby? You can cuddle her [under parental supervision]...or give her a rattle to play with [when she's three months or older and capable of playing with toys a little.]" I'm also disappointed that this book exclusively shows bottle feeding and no breastfeeding (since nursing a baby really takes up A LOT of a mother's time and an older sibling may resent this physical closeness). Not a bad "new baby" book, but not as accurate as Annie Kubler's "My New Baby."Product DescriptionIn this well-loved Little Critter picture book, our funny young hero has to get used to a new baby sister. What a problem. The baby doesn't pay attention when Little Critter reads to her. She cries when he makes silly faces. And she can't understand the jokes he tells. It's seems like an impossible task, but Little Critter finally figures out what you CAN do with a new baby -- and becomes a very good brother.Read more...
