But I Wanted a Baby Brother!

32 pp. | Simon/Wiseman | May, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4169-3941-2 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Diane Goode. Oliver intends to trade his baby sister for a brother, or purchase one from a classified ad, but ultimately, the other babies just don't measure up. The story meanders a bit, but its winking probe of gender stereotypes will keep readers hooked until the surprise ending. Goode's watercolors capture Oliver's vacillating opinion of the blissfully oblivious babe.
