Adorable book-a great way to teach your child to be patient when they have a baby sibling and that their time to be the center of attention will still come even if they have to wait a little while.

5.0 out of 5 stars What's not to like

Kevin Henkes is a great author/illustrator, and this is another example of his greatness. I'll admit, I'm probably a bigger fan than my 5 year old, but she enjoyed it, too. The story is sweet, and the style is repetitive enough that we can take turns reading as she gets familiar with more and more words.

My daughter is going into first grade and this was a perfect read for her right now, during the summer. Challenging but doesn't put her off and we're already fans of Mr. Henkes.
