About this title

About the Author:

Laura Numeroff is the New York Times best-selling author of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and What Mommies Do Best/What Daddies Do Best, and she's also the youngest of three sisters. Born in Brooklyn, New York, she now resides in Los Angeles.

Lynn Munsinger has illustrated dozens of children's books, including Tacky the Penguin by Helen Lester and What Mommies Do Best/What Daddies Do Best by Laura Numeroff. She spends winters in Vermont and snowless seasons in Connecticut.

From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-Grade 2—The creative team behind What Mommies Do Best/What Daddies Do Best (S & S, 1998) scores again. In an understated text that is the same for both siblings, the book shows all the good things about having an older brother or sister, such as teaching you how to swim, helping to clean your room, playing pretend, and being there when you need them. Munsinger's delightful watercolor illustrations are stories in themselves and really deliver the message. The children are represented by various cuddly-looking animals including pigs, bears, lions, tigers, koalas, and pandas. This would be a great book to share with a child who is anticipating a new sibling or who needs to be reminded of the perks of being the older one. Each situation shown would also be a great jumping-off point for a creative-writing project for primary grades.—Elaine Lesh Morgan, Multnomah County Library, Portland, OR
