Illustrated by
Mary Lundquist.
It's a big sibling's mission to train a new baby, and it's a tough job. Among other tasks, the big brother or sister must "introduce associates" (show off pets, toys, and grandparents); "share intelligence" (read stories aloud); and "complete covert operation" (sneak cookies from the cookie jar). The soft illustrations, showing loving, rosy-cheeked families, humorously belie the text's stern instructions.
