Review

This book is a sweet ode to big sisters and their influence on a little sibling. This book celebrates the anticipation of a new baby, followed by the wait until that baby is old enough to play, and finishes with the inevitable role of model by the older sister. With minimal words and a rhyming cadence, the book is easy for young listeners to grasp and enjoy. Reynolds's illustrations are done in a palette heavy with yellow, which makes for bright, happy pictures. There is a lot of white space on each page and the font is quite large. The book would make a nice read-aloud. If you have fans of Reynolds's work, or a collection of sibling books, this would be a solid purchase.

Overall Book Score: very good
