How To be A Baby . . . By Me, The Big Sister
Sally Lloyd-Jones (2007), 40 pages
Illustrated by Sue Heap
Audience: K - 2nd Grade
This funny take on the difference between being a baby and being an older sibling features a big sister who lists all the things her baby sibling cannot do that she can do. 'When you're a baby, you don't read books. You eat them.' This very silly book points out lots of things that are great about being the older sibling, but also ends on a note of affection between the baby and the older sister.
