Things change when you get a new baby in the family. You have to share Mommy and Daddy's lap...and even your toys. But there's lots of things you can show your new baby...like how to play hide and seek and peek-a-boo...even how to run through the sprinkler. After all, there are tons of things that you can do now; it's time to teach them to your new baby.
In this spare but effective text, author Sharon Jennings shows how to accentuate the positive for preschoolers who have - or will have - a young sibling. Jennings quickly shifts the responsibilities from the dreaded Sharing to the much more enticing prospect of Showing (with a little bit of showing off) all the skills that the older one has mastered. Artist Joanne Fitzgerald's lively watercolour characters are an irresistible combination of sweetly passive and ever-so-slightly domineering.
Sharon Jennings is the author of The Bye-Bye Pie, Sleep Tight Mrs. Ming, When Jeremiah Found Mrs. Ming and Jeremiah and Mrs. Ming. Sharon has also written for the popular series of Franklin books. She lives in Toronto, Ontario.
Joanne Fitzgerald was born in Montreal and lived there throughout her youth. Growing up her passion for drawing infiltrated her whole life. Her talent often caused minor problems at school as it distracted her from her other subjects. She attended Mount Allison University, New Brunswick, receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts. She was asked to illustrate her first of many books after illustrating a piece for Chickadee. She currently lives in Georgetown, Ontario with her husband and daughter.
