Readers who would enjoy: Readers who would enjoy this book are Kevin Henkes fans; also students who have just received a new baby at home and are learning to adjust to the new addition to the family.
Rating/Response: 4 – I love Kevin Henkes and his books, so I am a little bias, but I really enjoyed this story because I think that it presents a typical problem that occurs in many homes and for many children. The struggle of the adjustment of having a new sibling join the home is very difficult for many children and by reading this book I think it will help children with the adjustments of having a new baby in the house.
Question: How many of you are the older sibling? How many of you have an older sibling?
