About This Book
Reach for this book when your toddler is about to become a big brother or sister and needs a gentle, playful way to process the change. While the arrival of a new baby can feel daunting, Eric Hill uses the familiar world of Spot to frame the new sibling as a playmate rather than a competitor for attention. The story follows Spot as he meets Susie and discovers that while she is small, she is already full of personality. Through the interactive lift the flap format, children are encouraged to be curious and active participants in the new family dynamic. It is a perfect choice for ages 1 to 4, offering a joyful and low pressure introduction to the concept of shared family life.
