Review

A top-secret mission is underway. Little ones preparing for new siblings will be asked if they wish to undertake this secret-agent course in order to be able to train the newest recruit. A robot follows along while the older brother or sister learns what his or her tasks will be when the new baby arrives. In a very humorous fashion, the older sibling will come to realize how vitally important he is and how invaluable he will be in helping the new arrival to learn the ropes; how to play games, how to crack codes, how to crawl, and even how to sneak cookies from the cookie jar. The illustrations are busy, colorful and complement the text perfectly. This is definitely a book to consider for the bookshelves of all little ones, especially those preparing for a new member of the family.

Overall Book Score: very good
