Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Little Miss, Big Sis
Amy Krouse Rosenthal · 2015
83/100
👍 Worth It
Amy Krouse Rosenthal and Peter Reynolds together are about as strong a creative pairing as children's picture books offer, and this one earns its reputation. The staccato rhyming verse captures the genuinely funny-and-exhausting rhythm of life with a newborn in a way that feels true rather than sanitized, and kids preparing to become a big sibling will feel seen. Brief, yes — but perfectly calibrated for its moment.
