The Absolute Best Book Ever

This is an awesome book for any 2-3 year old, big sibling. The poor mother's haggard face is a sight to behold. My daughter loved it...especially the end where she came to realize that it is her duty to teach everything she knows to her baby brother. My daughter is now 4 and still likes to have this one read to her.

An Adorable Book

Very rarely a book comes along that a parent doesn't mind reading over and over again! My 3 year old daughter and 1 year old son both love this book. The illustrations are so incredibly cute...my daughter loves pointing out all the details in the pictures...the cat being her favorite character. It's easy for me to relate to the expressions of the mother, and the story sums up the life and antics of an older sibling to a T. We got this for our daugher shortly before our son was born and she's yet to tire of it. I'd definitely recommend purchasing this book.

GREAT BOOK

This book was excellent. My Daughter loves it and loves to hear it over and over - it reminds her that being a baby isn't much fun since they don't do much and she can do so much that she wouldn't want to go back to being a baby but she'd love to show them and teach them as they grow up. I recommend this book to anyone thinking about a second child or even to anyone who's little one wants to remain a baby instead of growing up into a toddler.

Great for closely-spaced siblings!

My three-year old recently received this book and "reads" it to her baby brother. She loves the concept of being able to teach him things. And we all love the illustrations! The drawings of the mother trying to get everything done around the house while also enjoying the kids are priceless. And the story is fun!

Fun, true to life antics of a three-year-old child.

Being the mother of a three year old and a 10 month old I was impressed with how true to life this book portrayed a three year old showing off for a smaller sibling. The little girl shows her baby everything she can do. Not only is she so very proud of herself, she is eager to teach her baby all these cool things she has learned. The mother does not have an active role in the story line, but she is shown in the illustrations to react to the little girls antics as she goes about her daily activities of caring for the house and children. I recommend this book for anyone just having that second (or third, or...) child. My son and I really enjoyed it!
