About this book
When her little brother is born, a little girl realises she is no longer the baby! While she is happy that she has a younger sibling, she is shocked she can’t do the baby things she used to do before. A funny journey of discovery follows, as she decides to try out being a baby again, but discovers it is more fun being the big sister of the family.
The rhyming text and exuberant art couple well, creating a funny and believable story. This is a must-read for any new big sister/brother or those children who will soon be one.
