Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
You're Getting a Baby Brother!
Sheila Sweeny Higginson · 2012
70/100
👍 Worth It
A solid, cheerful board book that makes the new-baby announcement feel like an adventure rather than a threat. The rhymes land well for read-alouds and the photo-and-notes page is a sweet keepsake touch. Its companion book earned two starred reviews, which reflects well on this one too. Does not go deep on jealousy, but that is a reasonable call for the age.
