About the book:
This fun little board book tells all about the stress and responsibility of looking after a tornadic baby sister. Whew!! A guy can get an ulcer being in charge of her. Too old now to ride on daddy's back big brother has a very important job to do now. He is promoted to security guard status for a "little sweet patootie" who never stops running, exploring and just enjoying life! Both daddy and big brother end up exhausted at the end of their trip to the park and both decide, while she has played herself out and is curled up asleep in her stroller, that they will take advantage of the peace and quiet and have a little rest too....heaven knows they really, really earned it!
This is a great book to read aloud and discuss the obligations and seriousness of caring for and protecting a smaller sibling. It highlights the fact that little sister is part of a family where every member loves and cherishes her and will commit to keeping her happy and safe no matter what her age. I highly recommend this book.
