This book is so amazing! It describes me & my older sister perfectly! It's a kids book, but I'm giving it to her for Christmas and she's 33 this year. I laughed at all the stories about this bear family... they are so much like my family. A cute story, great illustrations....

This review is from: My Firstborn, There's No One Like You (Birth Order Books) (Hardcover)

I ordered all 3 of the books in this series as gifts to my children upon the arrival of our third child. My oldest is three and she loves for me to read this story to her and tell her about the events of her birth and life. It really helped her feel special in her place in our growing and changing family!

All parents of first borns should own this book. It is laugh out loud funny and brings tears of joy to your eyes. This book rang so true to our first born, even though he's of a different gender than the character in the book. I buy this for all my friends!
