Fran Manushkin is the author of many popular picture books, including How Mama Brought the Spring; Baby, Come Out!; Latkes and Applesauce: A Hanukkah Story; and The Tushy Book. There is a real Katie Woo -- she's Fran's great-niece -- but she never gets in half the trouble of the Katie Woo in the books. Fran writes on her beloved MacBook in New York City.
...an adorable story about a boy who has a new baby brother,
telling how he loves to help take care of his brother, and how he
still feels loved even with a new sibling in the house.-- "Delaware
County Library System"
...would be good for young children experiencing the addition of a
baby to the family. The book depicts scenarios that compare and
contrast being a baby and being a "big brother" and shows ways that
the older child can still share special times with his parents.--
"Denton ISD"
These two books are identical with the exception of the
illustrations and a few word substitutions. The stories follow a
preschooler who has just become an older sibling. The narrator
tells what it is like to be a big brother or sister, explaining
things like sleeping in a big bed versus a crib, that babies can be
loud when they are hungry or when they need a new diaper, that you
need to be quiet when they're asleep, and that you need to be
gentle when you hug them. Manushkin also emphasizes that even older
siblings aren't too big to be held on Mommy's lap or ride on
Daddy's back and that having alone time with the parent is still
especially important for them. . . .the books are excellent
introductions to the topic and could be greatly utilized.-- "School
