A great book for big sisters and parents alike!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I love this book! It is so clever -- it is designed like a notebook, and the idea is that Dilly's mom gave it to her when the baby was born so that she could have a place to write her feelings about being a big sister. This book is not sappy; rather, it's realistic. At the beginning, Dilly doesn't like the new baby, but by the time he's a year old, she loves him! The drawings (a la Dilly) are hilarious -- this is the kind of book that has jokes for the parents and for the kids. My daughter will definitely enjoy this book when she's a big sister someday! Even better, I'll love reading it with her.
Neat Concept - Fun Reading!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
My 8 year old daughter couldn't put this down. She hid it so that I couldn't return it to the library. Although the "baby" in our house is now 4 years old, my daughter could still relate to Dilly's feelings. This book is a fun way to explore babies and the feelings a sibling may experience when one lands on your doorstep. The drawings and "notations" were witty and my daughter thought the diary concept was cool. This book would be appropriate for a higher age level than recommended. My daughter plans to give it as a gift to a nine year old friend who is expecting a new baby in her household.
