Illustrated by
Sue Heap.
The big sister (How to Be a Baby...by Me, the Big Sister) has more advice, this time about weddings. Wearing a puffy white dress, the "bride" authoritatively lays out the rules: "You can marry your best friend or your teacher or your pet or your daddy." The narrator's views on marriage are authentically childlike, and kid-friendly illustrations in soft colors enhance the text's humor.
