A big sister works through a long list of differences between herself and her baby brother. He can't feed himself, understand TV or sing songs and inhabits a world where adults eat your ice-cream and put a 'special plug' in your mouth to stop you screaming. In the end, she sees the advantages of being a baby again (for a start, people don't say 'Stop being a baby!' to you), but realises the delights of growing up with a brother by her side.
This excellent book taps into many important themes - time, growing, family, caring for others - and is a wonderful way to show young children the journey of tremendous change they have undergone in their own short lives.
