Beryl and her little brother Sam are disappointed when their new baby brother isn't nearly as exciting as they expected. Feelings of jealousy and resentment commonly experienced by older siblings are addressed with a humorous but realistic touch as a large family of loving grownups helps the children gain acceptance. The small but detailed watercolors show a cozy family in this picture-book-like chapter book.
