I love my baby sister by Anna Walker
Scholastic Press, 2011. ISBN 9781741698947
Ollie, like Miss Nearly 5, has a new baby sister. After all the
waiting and anticipation, she is finally here. But is having a baby
sister worth all the fuss? It's hard to be patient, especially when
everyone keeps telling you you are going to be a big sister and then,
when the big day comes, it's all about her and not a lot about
you. And where's this playmate you were promised? 'She
always sleeps and her ears are small. I say 'hello' but she says
nothing at all.' But, quickly Baby Sister, like Miss 10 weeks,
grows, and when Ollie, like Miss Nearly 5, pulls a face she starts to
giggle, and sing, and play in the bath and play peek-a-boo. And, at
last, having a little sister is fun.
This is a simple rhyming book just right for the preschooler who is
awaiting this momentous event and the perfect conversation starter to
prepare Big Sister to expect a tiny, helpless bundle rather than a
ready-made, just-like-you girlfriend.
