review 1: As an older sister to four younger siblings, I can appreciate Sophie's candor and frustration with the little monster who has invaded her life. Of course, I can also relate to how much she loves this little monster by the end of the book--because until I have my own children one day, those little siblings of mine are the people who have embedded themselves most deeply into my heart. As monstrous as little siblings can be, there is a certain something that touches you when you realize that they think you hung the freakin' moon.Also, this book was really funny. Loved the pictures.
review 2: This is a very cute book about "welcoming" a new baby into the house, but the humor would probably not appeal to everyone, so I think parents should preview it before reading
... moreit to a child. The truth about babies, says Sophie Peterman, is that they are not sweet, not precious, and not cute. At first they look like little aliens, then when they start to crawl they are like little pirates, and when they start to walk they are little monsters. Sophie has lots of negative feelings that big siblings will identify with, but perhaps you can guess what happens toward the end. I really did like the book and the illustrations are great, conveying the aggravations and the joys of being a big sister. less

I love that Sarah Weeks tells the truth, even about the hazards of baby brothers or sisters.

Very cute! Great book for kids about to have a sibling or who already have younger siblings.

A hilarious (and accurate) perspective on what it's like to add a sibling to your family.

My 6-year-old had fun with this one because she could relate to all of it.
