Big Brothers are the Best

Rating

Simple book about big brothers and new babies.

It's cute. It's not very long, but it's a brief talk about a big brother and having a little baby. I don't think the baby has a gender, so that makes it applicable to both little sisters and brothers. It's just the difference between big brothers and babies. The watercolors are pretty. It's a list of things that big brothers can do that babies can't do. So even though the baby might get more attention sometimes, the parents still spend time with just the big brother. Your parents aren't going to forget about you or love you less when they have a baby. There's no real conflict. It's more descriptive.

Babies may need more attention, but big brothers get more perks.
