entertaining and cute submitted by camelsamba on August 3, 2011, 11:11am Funny premise, entertaining story, and cute illustrations. Surprisingly, my 9 and 12 year olds seemed to enjoy it more than the 7yo. The 12yo declared it "unique" and the 9yo is quoting lines.

Perhaps because I have 3 sons, I was imagining the baby as a boy as I read it. I thought how sweet it was that the boy baby adored a sister so much and wanted to be just like her. When I read it the second time (to my 7yo), I picked up lots of clues that baby is a girl. Silly unobservant me!

One big problem: the entry from July 8th (2nd day of life) is only on the book jacket, not in the book. That's unfortunate, because it's kind of important for understanding the premise!

Cute submitted by kathiravan on July 3, 2017, 9:07pm Baby's first view of the world. Very cute and funny.
