Families who loved How to Be a Baby . . . by Me, the Big Sister by Sally Lloyd-Jones often look for books with a similar feel. These 20 recommendations were selected for their similarity in style, theme, and reading level.
Reach for this book when your older child is struggling with the lifestyle changes brought on by a new baby or feeling a bit overshadowed by the nursery's newest resident. Instead of a sentimental story about siblings, this book takes a refreshingly cheeky and humorous approach. It is narrated by a 'big sister' who offers a survival guide on the limitations of being a baby, such as having no teeth and not being allowed to eat chocolate. This clever perspective shift helps children ages 3 to 7 move away from jealousy and toward a sense of superiority and pride in their own 'big kid' abilities. It validates the frustration of having a noisy, needy sibling while highlighting the freedom and independence that comes with growing up. It is a perfect choice for parents who want to open a conversation about family dynamics through laughter rather than a lecture.
