Synopsis

Beth has a new baby brother. He cries, he poos, he gets all the attention. Silly, silly Baby! But grandma shows Beth that he is small and soft and can smile at his big sister — and Beth thinks that maybe he isn't so silly after all. This charming story about a child learning to cope with a new baby in the family is simply but very effectively written, and is complemented by beautifully expressive illustrations that have wide appeal. Perfect for every family with a second or third baby, it also meets the needs of early years curricula in helping children to understand that sharing is good. It follows Marie-Louise Fitzpatrick's highly popular Silly Mommy, Silly Daddy and Silly School, which also feature Beth and her family.

Review:

The internal illustrations, all of which have been boldly rendered by the accomplished artist Marie-Louise Fitzpatrick, warmly portray silly baby's antics. The colours are bright and the alternation of full-page spreads and framed vignettes add a whimsical cartoon-like feel to the work.
