I'm Big Now!

(4) PS Illustrated by Georgie Birkett. In mostly successful if oddly punctuated rhyming text, a big sister compares her "big girl" life to her baby brother's: "The baby's got his mushy / food, he gets it in his hair. / But I've got crunchy cereal / and I sit on a chair." The text is didactic but encouraging; cheerful, spacious illustrations show an interracial family gamely balancing its members' needs.
