Book Reviews of Best-Ever Big Sister
Book Review: Great book, lots of diverse characters
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a white woman in a lily white family. So when I go shopping for books my daughter will identify with, the number of options is endless.
My daughter's best friend is Black and I wanted to find a book she could identify with to help her cope with her new baby sister coming into her life. She was an only child for almost 4 years before baby sister came along and was having trouble adjusting. I was shocked at how few books there are for children of color that address just the simple basic storylines found so easily in the plethera of books available to my daughter with characters she can see and say, "they look just like me, Mommy!"
This book has a lot of different characters inside so a child of every race and ethnicity should have at least one "big sister" in the book to identify with.
The storyline is also really good. Katz's lift-the-flap concepts are very enjoyable for 2-4 year old children. My friend said her daughter (my daughter's BFF) loves the book and they read it every night. She said it really has helped her adjust to being a new big sister. I recommend this and any of Katz's books (I also have her potty training book and no more pacifier book and love them too).
Summary of Best-Ever Big Sister
Babies sure have a lot of growing up to do! They can?t eat with a fork, sleep in a real bed, poop on a potty, ride a trike, or read a book. On every sweet lift-the-flap spread, Karen Katz?s illustrations celebrate the varied accomplishments of older siblings who may be in need of a little ego-stroking after a new baby?s arrival! Each book ends on a warm, loving note with the older child reassuring the baby that "one day you?ll be big like me."
