"Babies are not sweet. Babies are not precious. Babies are not cute. Babies are...
your worst nightmare!" So says Sophie Peterman.
If you want the real TRUTH about babies and the chaos they cause, just ask her. How was she to know three years ago the changes a baby brother would make in her quiet, peaceful, happy life? She offers her advice without any expectations, except that you take her seriously. From cradle, to crawling to causing untold headaches, younger siblings are not to be trusted and Sophie has all the arguments to share for her logically voiced opinions. But, then...
Maybe they do grow on you! And you can only imagine what happens when your parents know that.
This is a great readaloud and will encourage young listeners to relate stories of their own regarding family life and the arrival of someone new. The first person narrative, the humorous accompanying illustrations and Sophie's strong voice will make this a readaloud favorite.
