Reach for this book when your older child is struggling to adapt to the presence of a new baby, particularly during those stressful moments when quiet is a necessity. It follows a well-meaning big brother who, in his enthusiastic attempts to keep the house silent for his napping sibling, ends up being the loudest one of all. This gentle story validates the 'big kid's' desire to help while acknowledging the natural difficulty of impulse control at this age. It is a perfect choice for children ages 2 to 5 who are learning about empathy, family responsibility, and the irony of their own high energy. Parents will appreciate the humor and the positive modeling of a sibling bond built on protection and care rather than rivalry.
