In Will It Be a
Baby Brother? by Even Bunting, a little boy's Mom is pregnant.
He is very sure he wants a baby brother and will not be happy with
anything else. He even says he will give the baby to his aunt if
it's a girl. Does he continue to feel the same once the baby is born
if it's a girl?
This is a sweet
story. My children enjoyed it very much.
If you have a "getting ready for the next baby" sort of library, like I do, this would be a great book to add to it! I hope I will be able to add it before our next one starts 'baking'.
The illustrations by
Beth Spiegel do their job very well. In some places, they support
the story. At other times, they show more detail that expounds on
the words of the story.
Generally a good
story, this would be particularly good for parents to read to their
child or children in preparation for a new arrival. I like it a lot.
Have you read Will
It Be a Baby Brother? by Eve Bunting? What did you think of it?
