bleh! firstly, the illustrations are COMPLETELY different in the version i received than the images pictured in this listing. you can tell my version is old and outdated. this new one listed is leagues cuter. (mine is illustrated by maxie chambliss in 1997, the new one pictured here is illustrated by rosalinda kightley in 2010 i believe). (see photo). so that's annoying. but not a deal breaker i guess. the story is cute enough. rather enjoyable and cute, but what bothered me is that when it time for the baby to eat, it gets a bottle (held by the dad, fed by the big sister). i get the bottle thing-- they want to try and depict the older sibling being able to help as much as possible, but for us breastfeeding moms, this simply does not apply to us, and is a huge turn off in books. also bothersome, but not quite as much, the baby sleeps in a crib. if these things don't bother you, then it's a cute book, if they do, it may not be the book for you either.
