Synopsis
Tom's new baby brother comes with a lot of surprises.
When Tom's mother brings home a new baby brother, things start changing for Tom. Not only is the baby in his crib, but Mom and Dad never have time to read to him, go to the park, or play games. Tom gets very angry at all these changes, but his parents help him to see how much Tom and the baby have in common.
For every child that has had a difficult time adjusting to a new baby, Marjorie Newman shows that a little bit of understanding can go a long way. Ken Wilson-Max's simple paintings illustrate the true excitement and sweetness of a new baby.

From School Library Journal
PreS-Tom is having trouble accepting his new baby brother. He has to share everything-his old crib, his parents, his world. Mom and Dad are too busy with the infant to take him to the park or read him a story. When they ask him if he wants to help with the baby, he shouts No! No! No! and I hate that baby! Finally, they show him photos of when he was a baby and explain that the infant will grow just like he did, and, like his big brother, will need them less. At the end, Tom is glad to be the big brother, though his feelings for his sibling are never quite resolved. Wilson-Max portrays emotion and mood well with thick black lines and boldly painted blocks of bright colors that will appeal to young children. Ezra Jack Keats's classic Peter's Chair (Puffin, 1998) has a kinder resolution, but for those looking for a more modern take on the theme, this one will suffice.-Angela J. Reynolds, Annapolis Valley Regional Library, Bridgetown, NS, Canada
