How to Be a Baby . . . by Me, the Big Sister

A picture book that my son and daughter both agree is funny is How To be A Baby . . . By Me, The Big Sister by Sally Lloyd-Jones. It's one of my daughter's finds at the library.

The Big Sister goes through all the ways her baby brother is different than she is. Each page has something that babies do that big kids have out grown or things that big kids can do that babies don't know how to do. Eventually as the brother grows, she warms to him and they are shown playing together.

For each of these "babies can / can't do this" topics my son and daughter had to debate the validity of the Big Sister's observations. When they weren't sure, they asked me to weigh in. It was fun to compare their experiences with the book's version.

A super funny, non-cheesy book about a six-year-old girl's take on her new baby sibling. She lists all the things babies can't do (basically anything fun), but is also fair in noting that babies are good at hugging and cute because they're so small. It ends on a sweet note.

I enjoyed this cute story about a little girl who tries to instruct her new baby brother on how to be a baby. Most of the cuteness comes from the simplistic illustrations (especially of that fat baby!). I also enjoyed the recurring stuffed animal audience who appeared to be really paying attention to the kids.

Probably a good story for older kids who are having to deal with jealousy of the attention their new younger siblings are getting - the book serves as a reminder of all the cool stuff they get to do that the baby can't.

Bossy and know-it-all big sister tells her baby sibling what is good and illegal about being a baby. Pretty funny.

A big sister, who reads from a book she has written for her new sibling. Itemizes a long list of things that babies cannot do. She also describes what life will be like when he gets bigger, looking forward to the day when they will be good friends.

Funny and cute. It depicts the relationship between G & J perfectly. We discovered this one recently at the library and have read it several times over.

This book completly hits hoem for me because my sister just had another baby. She has a daughter who is 2 and a son who is 5 months. I told my sister about this book and i got it for her. It is a funny book that puts light to the situation. The cutest book and anyone who had two children can relate to these funny stories in the book.
