| PreS. With the same pizzazz she displayed in In the Rain with Baby Duck (1995) and Baby Duck and the Bad Eyeglasses (1996, both Candlewick), Baby Duck now struggles with second-child syndrome. Her parents, completely taken up with the new sibling, Hot Stuff, are totally unaware of their older child's left-out feelings. Once again, Grampa comes to the rescue and makes Baby Duck feel good about herself, allowing her to accept her new sister. The fact that Baby is the older sibling may confuse some youngsters, but they will relate to Barton's generous images and soft colors. A predictable story in the sibling-rivalry genre, the book can be used with Kevin Henkes's Julius, the Baby of the World (Greenwillow, 1990), Martha Alexander's When the New Baby Comes, I'm Moving Out (Dial, 1992), Brigitte Weninger's Will You Mind the Baby, Davy? (North-South, 1997), and Carol D. Shields's I Wish My Brother Was a Dog (Dutton, 1997); for those seeking an alternative, Tomie dePaola's The Baby Sister (Putman, 1996) features a child looking forward to the new baby's arrival. |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| I first discovered the Baby Duck series with Amy Hest's delightful book, "In the Rain with Baby Duck". My toddler loved that book and we read it over and over. Having just had a new baby, I ordered "You're the Boss, Baby Duck" with high expectations of a similar experience. What a disappointment! While it captures how an older sibling may feel left out, it was very negative towards the new baby. I kept waiting for the part where Baby Duck bonds with the new baby and discovers how great it is to have a little brother/sister. Instead, by the end of the book, Baby Duck decides to let the baby stay "for a couple of days" so that she could boss her around. What kind of message about sibling love is that supposed to be sending? If you've just had a new baby in your house, I recommend "Arthur's New Baby" by Marc Brown instead. It effectively captures a child's jealousy in a much gentler way and has a much happier resolution. |
