Reviews
I absolutely loved this book! The story is told from an older sibling’s perspective, taking the reader through a journey of feelings and experiences, when a new baby joins the family. It tells of the challenges and emotions the older sibling feels when they have to share some of the attention. But then we also discover how nice it is to have a younger brother, someone to do things together with, and how good it feels to be able to teach your little brother things like how to build a snowman. I thought this book was amazingly insightful and accurately captured so many of the things that an older child goes through when a new baby comes along. The illustrations are adorable, and complement the story giving the reader warm feelings of a loving family. It’s a book you can read overand over, and each time pick up additional subtle messages and lessons. It’s truly a wonderful story that everyone will enjoy.

“We Have a New Baby at Our House”, written by Mrs. Charlotte Caminos, is a wonderful read that goes into the emotions that a first-born child and family often experience when expecting a new child and sibling. This book hits home about the change in dynamics and shift that occurs within the family structure. Now the older sibling has to learn to share his or her attention with their new sibling and the family has to adapt to caring for a new child. This is quite a difference in the child’s world that he or she is learning to live with when having a new brother or sister. The change can be very dramatic and challenging and this book demonstrates very well the stages of experiences that the family and oldest child are going through.

We Have a New Baby at Our House is a great book for all children, but especially great for children with a new sibling. It is a book for all ages; it is about family, it teaches children it is natural to have a lot of different feelings when a new baby comes into their home. Big Brother looks forward to Garrett coming home, he is thinking of all the fun they will have together. Big Brother sometimes feels left out and that is ok, because he learns he is just as important as Garrett when his Dad tells everyone they have two sons. Big Brother shows empathy for Momhaving a funny looking baby. Big Brother learns about sharing, not just him sharing with Garrett, but Garrett shares with him. Big Brother feels good when he accomplishes something on his own and feels good when he helps Garrett build blocks or when he and Garrett build a snowman together. We Have a New Baby at Our House is a great book about family, feelings, anticipation, sharing and accomplishments. It is about a new baby, a lot of firsts and a new adventure.
