Book Reviews of The New Baby
Book Review: Not the best to prepare a toddler/preschooler for a new sibling
Summary: 2 Stars
I really like most of the other Mercer Mayer books I've read, but I didn't like this one. It left me saying "Critter babies may be able to do that, but I will be a long time before your sister will." For example. it shows her holding her own bottle, and holding her head up during tummy time. The time it will take a human baby to learn to do that will seem like forever to a two- or three-year-old. I also didn't like that it encourages Little Critter to let her grab his nose. I don't want uncoordinated hands with possibly sharp nails near big brother's eyes. This baby cries or ignores when Little Critter makes faces, tells jokes, and shows her picture books, and while I agree that babies won't always be up for that, I think that kind of attention is worth a try. My favorite book for siblings-to-be is I'm a Big Brother or I'm a Big Sister by Joanna Cole.
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.New Baby Books
