Minnie and her baby brother ISBN: 9780744592757
Walsh, Melanie
Published by Walker, 2003
Minnie is 3, and this is really aimed specifically at 3 year olds with new siblings. Minnie first of all compares herself with her brother. She has teeth and can eat real food; baby brother must have milk and baby food. She can walk and jump; he can only crawl. She can sit on the toilet; he wears nappies. She has a big bed; he sleeps in a cot. And so it goes. When the baby is sad, she tries to cheer him up. He likes being 'read' to, and she paints pictures for him at playgroup. But sometimes he can be a nuisance. Nevertheless, their favourite game is peepo, and she loves him. This lift-the-flap book, illustrated with bright, simple pictures, will give older siblings that little feeling of superiority that can be very important when making one of life's big adjustments.
Age: 3+
