Overview / 简介: |
The good ol' days are over.
It's official, it's the news!
With my brand-new baby brother
came the brand-new baby blues!
When a new baby wears her old pajamas, sleeps in her old bed, and seems to get all her parents' attention, a girl's bound to sing the blues. Is there anything a baby brother can do to change her tune? |
From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| Eldest siblings of the world can unite behind the older sister in this picture book, who expresses her frustrations at the arrival of a new baby in rhyme: “Everything is changed. / I’m not the one and only. / My whole life’s rearranged.” The young speaker is frustrated that her new brother excels at only a few things: purloining previously spoken-for teddy bears and parental attentions, sleeping, eating, and filling his diaper. Fortunately, as the pages turn, the girl changes her tune and admits that the little guy is awfully cute and may just be of some use, once “he’s a brother, not a baby!” Appelt sums up feelings authentically in this quick, sympathetic read, and as the blues transform into a hymn, they’re accompanied by attractive, if not particularly noteworthy, illustrations. This title doesn’t break new ground, but kids may find that this offers a reassurance of love and hope for better times to come, just when they need it most. Preschool-Grade 2. --Andrew Medlar |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| It is almost a typical sentiment... The universe revolves around the only child until the new baby comes along. Before the preparations for the new baby, things were pretty much how it should be. In the beginning of //Brand New Baby Blues//, Mom and Dad did not have to divide their attention and there really wasn't any competition. There was only one little princess who was //the icing on the cake, the royal pooh-bah and the chocolate in the shake//.
The process of accepting the new baby brother into the family follows a time-honored routine, starting with jealousy and outright anger, followed by appreciation of all the good things that come with being the older sibling, and ultimately leading to a true bond between the children. Young bookworms will adore the endearing and rhyming parlance of author Kathi Appelt while the enchanting and fanciful illustrations of Kelly Murphy complete the whole package making it a great addition to your child's library. Jealousy amongst siblings is common. //Brand New Baby Blues// adequately addresses this issue in a non-ominous method. In the end, love abounds and little ones realize that affection isn't divided but multiplied with each addition to the family.
