Tommy tries several ploys to get rid of Wendy, his new baby sister, but nothing works. His feelings change dramatically when he realizes that he can make the baby happy and quiet her crying. The story is not a new one, but the feelings are genuine. Sketchy watercolors include Tommy's fantasies--baby Wendy flying away (like Wendy in Peter Pan) or tucked neatly in a box and delivered to Granny through the mail.
