Bye-Bye, Baby!
Written by Richard Morris
Illustrated by Larry Day
Book Description
A fresh, sardonic twist on sibling rivalry. Warning: may require hippos.
Felix is not happy about his new baby sister. In fact, he thinks she should be sent back to where she came from. That's when a trip to the zoo inspires some creative solutions to his problem- but Felix will need some animal participation for his plans to work. Expertly brought to life by award-winning illustrator Larry Day, this quirky, tongue-in-cheek take on the new baby in the house is sure to entertain parents and children alike, and will help any older sibling realize that sometimes even little sisters can come in handy.
★
“New-baby books for skeptical siblings abound, but here the older brother is still young enough to be prone to a tantrum or two himself. Day’s emotional watercolors drill home Felix’s disgruntlement. Certainly cute.” —Kirkus Reviews
A young preschooler’s fury at being displaced by his baby sister is the drama in this picture book, illustrated with pen, ink, watercolor, and gouache artwork that beautifully extends the intense emotions.”—Booklist
