Vera heard the baby crying as they passed her bedroom window. How could anyone like that loud, smelly thing? Where can Vera find some peace and quiet with a new baby in the house? Now that Vera's baby sister, Ruthie, has arrived, Vera feels there's no place left in the house for her. The baby is loud and smelly, and she fills up every room. Vera wants nothing to do with Ruthie. When Grandpa comes up with a plan to make a special bean tent for Vera out in the yard, Vera is all for it. Of course, as beans and vines grow, so, too, do babies-and who knows where that might lead? In her signature style, Vera Rosenberry explores another pivotal childhood experience in this honest and funny story.

new baby
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Vera has just gotten a new baby sister. She is starting to feel like there is no room for her in the house. Her grandfather helps her to make a bean tent in the yard. Vera loves the tent and spend lots of time there. So the beans grow to cover her tent her baby sister grows as well. Vera starts to like her even more. She builds her a special bean tent right next to hers! The pictures were fun to look at. The story moved at a fast pace as well. We would recommend this book to families who are getting ready to have babies. This would make a great story to read and discuss with young children about the way they feel about having a new baby in the home.
