Description
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.

Not the best Little Critter, or the best new baby book
This book was clearly written in a different time. Apparently, the only warning that Little Critter had that he was getting a new sister was on the *day she came home*. That's not realistic to how most infantren today are raised!
It does show a normal, if somewhat idealized reaction to a new baby - Little Critter can't show her his favorite toys, but he *can* let her pull his finger.
I was a little disappointed to see the presumably newborn baby left alone in a crib with a bottle - my nieces were always held when fed.

Really Cute!
My 2 1/2 year old son really enjoys this book. I think it has helped him understand what it will be like to have a baby in the house. I thought it was really cute. The only thing I thought the book didn't really address was the fact that the older infant will be getting less attention after baby comes. It would have been nice to have a page showing the older infant playing on his own while Mommy changes baby's diaper or feeds baby. Other than that, a really cute book!

Not the usual Little Critter book
I bought this book for my 2-year-old before we brought baby #2 home from the hospital. It's a cute book, as all Little Critter books are, but it lacks the substance and creativity in the other books.
