Oh my....what a delightful children's book! Children's Author Maria Alony playfully and expertly touches base on the arrival of a new baby brother and how it affects his older toddler, also a boy. It is never easy for a young child to adjust to sharing the attention that a new baby receives. It is especially difficult when the first child, whether a brother or sister, is a very young child and still in need of plenty of love and attention themselves.Author Maria Alony had done a great job of dealing with this age old problem by addressing sibling rivalry with the use of rhyme as well as a bright and colorful set of illustrations to reassure the young reader that...it is natural to feel the way they do when a new sibling enters into the picture. She expertly shows the reaction of big brother to this latest member of the family. She clearly demonstrates how he eventually learns to love and embrace his new baby brother. Very good lesson and overall message to help children adjust to sharing and accepting new additions to the family. Good stuff! I look forward to sharing this book with my grandchildren.Inspirational Author & Book Reviewer ~ Dolores AyotteI'm Not Perfect and It's Okay
