From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1–When his newborn brother comes home, five-year-old Jonathon doesn't understand what all the fuss is about. Daniel is just smelly, drooly, and burpy. After Mom bans calling him names like Barfburger Baby, Gasburger Baby, or Poopburger Baby, Jonathon starts building a wall of blocks to separate himself from his new sibling. Visiting relatives try to make the child feel loved and included, but they only manage to enrage him more. Finally, a self-confident and teasing older cousin–who knows a thing or two about being a big brother–makes life more bearable by showing Jonathon the privileges of being the eldest. Danziger captures the humor and reality of making the transition from only child to older sibling, and Karas's warm cartoon illustrations provide fun punch lines to many of the jokes. While there are numerous books dealing with this topic, this one rings particularly true.–Julie Roach, Malden Public Library, MA

PreS-K. "He just lies there, drooling and smelling like he's doing other things . . . Poopburger Baby." The late Danziger's first picture book brings to sibling rivalry the same funny, honest, unromantic view of childhood she displayed in her Amber Brown easy-to-reads, and Karas' clear, cartoon-style pictures stay true to five-year-old Jonathon's furious viewpoint and his wild jealousy at being displaced by a new baby brother. While everyone coos and fusses, Jonathon invents vicious, silly names and imagines disastrous comeuppance fantasies for the intruder. The wordplay and the expressive gouache, acrylic, and pencil illustrations work perfectly together. Yes, they'll play pirates--and the picture shows Jonathon shoving the baby into a shark's jaws; sure, they'll play spaceship--and he'll launch Snotburger Baby into space. There's no sweet resolution. Jonathon's annoying cousins also poke fun at each other and at him, even while they play and fight together. The scenarios are immediate, the insults are gross, and the hurt and anger ring true. Family fun that's great to talk about. Hazel Rochman
