From School Library Journal
Grade 2-4?A unique story that is certain to engage its audience from beginning to end. When eight-year-old Dilly's brother is born, her parents give her a diary to chronicle her feelings and experiences. Dismayed at first, the child prefers to think of Matthew as a science experiment ("Experiment #1: Rub baby's palm with finger. RESULT: Baby will grab finger!"). As the weeks go by, however, Dilly witnesses small steps in her brother's growth, realizing that being a big sister is not as bad as she had imagined. By story's end, she has accepted her brother in his own right. Young children, particularly those with newborn siblings, will identify with Dilly; her observations on life resonate with humor and truth. While visually overwhelming (photos, childlike artwork and doodles, and type in different fonts and colors cover the pages), the diarylike style in a child's handwriting is complemented by strong, humorous writing and an authenticity that will leave readers wondering if Dilly is indeed a real person. Teachers in particular will find this title useful for encouraging students to write about their own experiences.?Jennifer Oyama, Los Angeles Public Library, CA
