(3) PS Illustrated by Dorothy Stott. Only the narrator differs in these sweet, identical stories (same appealing art, familiar situations, sturdy pages, and small trim size) about a new sibling. In each, the older sibling expresses excitement and frustration, awaits a time when being older starts to be fun, and then finds the ability to soothe the baby--all leading to love and acceptance. Review covers these books: Hannah Is a Big Sister and Henry Is a Big Brother.
