Overview

It's not easy being a big sister, especially when your new baby brother is a dino-baby! There's a lot to remember:

Be quiet in the morning, when you first get up.

Because crashes, bangs, and thuds will wake our dino-pup. Shh!

Don't play rough and tumble with a little thing like this.

Instead be soft and gentle. We all LOVE a dino kiss. Mwaah!

But before long, this big sister loves to teach her little brother all the things she knows. Pretty soon they're playing andgrowing—together! A sweet picture book that's perfect for older siblings, parents, and dino fans.

Editorial Review

Dinosaur parents are about to have a second child as mom is sporting a "belly bump," so they are preparing big sister for her new role. Once the baby arrives, there are a few missteps as the older dino loves to make noise and play rough. But she soon gets the hang of sharing and manners. She also teaches the little one to roar, clomp, stomp, and pound. The black-line drawings, digitally colored, feature cartoon dinosaurs sporting bows, gloves, and shoes. They have big heads, small tails, and small arms and legs. They are all very green. This is a typical new baby story told by dinosaurs. The only thing different is all the roaring and stomping.
