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.

A perfect book for my family, which has just had a new addition as well. My oldest daughter is only two, so I appreciate stories that are at her level. The story is concise and funny. As with other books in this series, Mayer really captures a young child's perspective in this book. I love when Little Critter asks what a baby can actually do. The story is sweet and the illustrations are cute. I feel like my review of every Little Critter book is the same, but I love them all equally, I guess. This is another great one. ( )

This is a great book to teach students about the main characters of a book. This book is appropriate for students to read in 1st grade. It is appropriate for a read aloud in kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grades.

This book is about a little critter who gets a new baby sister. He does not understand what new babies can do or play with until his mother tells him about it. He begins to do the things his mom tells him to do, and gets excited to show off his sister to his friends.
