From School Library Journal
PreS–As the family exclaims over each of Baby James's advancements–from smiling to rolling over, burping, sitting, and crawling–big brother Brendan declares his own ability to accomplish the same feats, and everyone supports him wholeheartedly. This pattern is altered when the tot starts to walk. As he wobbles around the room, family members call, Come to me, Baby James. Come to me! As James falls into Brendan's arms, Mom smiles and says, He knows how much you love him. This is an upbeat book full of sunny good cheer. The focus is on one aspect of sibling relations, the need for equal attention, and while the author is effective in addressing this issue, her insistence on remaining positive makes the story lackluster. The approach is simplistic and bland. The absence of tension is mirrored in the bright, cheerful drawings. Clearly outlined watercolor illustrations delineate ordinary indoor scenes where the characters coexist in a thoroughly supportive environment. This one's easy to forget.–Martha Topol, Traverse Area District Library, Traverse City, MI
