A new baby in the house is the time when parents and grandparents notice all of the cute things the baby does.  So what does an older sibling do for attention?  All of the things the baby does, of course!  Eve Bunting addresses the issue of sibling rivalry in this   simple, yet tender story.  The watercolor illustrations are perfect for this lighthearted look at Brendan’s desire to be noticed.  Mom, dad, and Grandma, let Brendan know they are proud of him too, and Brendan shares his love and excitement for his new little brother.
