Book Reviews of The New Baby
Book Review: Not entirely accurate portrayal of life with new baby
Summary: 4 Stars
This book has a lot of pluses. It shows new parents tired. It illustrates that newborns often cry and aren't developed enough for games or books. But I find myself at times having to amend the text to reflect the realities of "new baby" life. Ex. "What can you do with a new baby? You can cuddle her [under parental supervision]...or give her a rattle to play with [when she's three months or older and capable of playing with toys a little.]" I'm also disappointed that this book exclusively shows bottle feeding and no breastfeeding (since nursing a baby really takes up A LOT of a mother's time and an older sibling may resent this physical closeness). Not a bad "new baby" book, but not as accurate as Annie Kubler's "My New Baby."
Summary of The New Baby
In this well-loved Little Critter picture book, our funny young hero has to get used to a new baby sister. What a problem. The baby doesn't pay attention when Little Critter reads to her. She cries when he makes silly faces. And she can't understand the jokes he tells. It's seems like an impossible task, but Little Critter finally figures out what you CAN do with a new baby -- and becomes a very good brother.General Books
