Brand-New Baby Blues by Kathi Appelt. Illustrated by Kelly Murphy. 2009. December 2009. HarperCollins. 32 pages.
Once upon a time
I was the only one,
I was the cat's pajamas,
I was the moon and sun.
It was me and only me--
I was the icing on the cake.
I was the royal pooh-bah,
the chocolate in the shake.
But everything changes when this little girl gets a baby brother. Now our little heroine has a case of the brand-new baby blues. While her life may never be quite the same again, can she find a way to count her blessings? Can she even learn to love him?
I liked this one. It was good to see this little girl learn to love--if not like--her little brother day by day, week by week.
