Book Reviews of How to Be a Baby . . . by Me, the Big Sister (How To Series)
Book Review: Enjoyable for Mom and big sisters
Summary: 5 Stars
I received this as a gift for my two year old when I had a new baby. My four year old daughter loved it. My two year old loves pieces of it (she can't sit still for a book so detailed). The first time I read it I cried I laughed so hard! The basics are that it details how babies don't have it made-- as it may seem. Most big sibling books focus on the babies have to cry, be held, etc. But this book takes a humorous slant and makes it seem that the big sister has it made (helps the child focus on all the great things SHE can do--and shows how babies need all these special things because they AREN'T big like her). It is written from a big sisters' perspective so some of the things are put in a way that a parent may have worded differently. For example there is something about babies having a special plug to stop them from screaming....of course loving parents don't usually think of it that way--and would explain it that babies sucking on a pacifier feel comforted and calm. So maybe that is why someone commented that it was "How to be a brat" but I really think the book doesn't use that tone. The big sister focuses on things that build her confidence in a time when they may not feel as secure in all the changes. I do think it is a good idea to talk to a child that make take things very literally- for instance about the "plug" just so they know the parents' perspective. It end with a focus on the relationship between the baby and sister when they are a little older and that is something other books often leave out too. I really think it is a great great- fun fun book! I only wish they had a big brother book like this I could get for my nephew! It wouldn't be too hard -just turn the princess stuff into something more appealing for boys...
Summary of How to Be a Baby . . . by Me, the Big Sister (How To Series)
Take it from the narrator of this book, an all-knowing big sister: when you're a baby you don't read books. You eat them. You don't know how old you are, or even if you're a boy or a girl. And you have to keep a special plug in your mouth to stop your scream from coming out. But one day, you won't be little anymore, and then you'll be taller and smarter, and actually quite clever. Like the narrator. And you'll be able to share memories of what it was like when you were little with your incredible Big Sister.
The New York Times praised this best-selling picture book as "adorable, original, well-illustrated and fabulous."
