(2) K-3 Illustrated by Sue Heap. A big sister describes what it's like to be a baby, listing the many things that infants, specifically her own brother, can't do. All along it's obvious that her disparaging comments hide a whole lotta love. The breezy illustrations are supplemented with handwritten lists (e.g., "Here's What Else You Can't Do"). Author and illustrator get the balance of annoyance and adoration just right.
