Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS—In this vibrant, rhythmic, and charming picture book, a big brother expresses his joy upon the arrival of his new sibling. He helps whenever he can, and even during unpleasant tasks like diaper changes and naptime, he loves the newcomer. And his parents are proud. Engaging illustrations in watercolor and pastels capture the tenderness of this new family bond. This is an excellent choice for helping older children understand their new role in the family. Short, rhyming sentences make the story a quick read-aloud for group sharing and nap time.—Gwen Collier, Buffalo and Erie County Public Library, NY

2yr old Big Brother of Twins

2yr old Big Brother of Twins
I read a lot of books to my 2yr old son and wanted a good book to help prep him for when his new twin brothers arrive. It turns out there are very little options with twins and big brothers out there! I ordered the following books (all listed in the photo): - I am a big brother - Brothers Forever - Two is for Twins - My babies, my twins big brother - Two boring twin brothers We have loved the “I am a big brother!” Book and am reading it to him now before the twins arrive. He loveeess this book and even tries pushing the stroller like the big brother in the book! We are giving him the “Brothers Forever” book along with a small gift for when the twins come home as a gift from the babies to their big brother. While I’m disappointed the two big brother books don’t feature twins, I felt like these were a lot better than “My babies, My Twins Big Brother” and “Two Boring twin brothers.” These two were both paperback and overpriced in my opinion. The illustrations weren’t that great and geared toward perhaps older children. These weren’t for us and I wouldn’t recommend these titles! We have already read I am a big brother book many many times, and I would recommend this book to any younger big brothers out there!

    Bought for my two year old and he enjoys reading this. He has learned ti help out too from this book. Hes always telling us to empty the diaper genie now lol. Cute book and perfect for a two year old. Hard cover but the pages are like cardstock. I prefer board books at this age but he hasnt ripped any of these pages as they are thicker then paper.
  • Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2025
    This book is excellent. It’s very simple and works if it’s for a big brother to either gender. There’s some great rhyming and my son likes to recite parts of the book — the sweetest being
    Toddler: “Mommy, Daddy, Baby, ME!”
    Me: “we love each other a…”
    Toddler: “Family!”

    It’ll be great when baby #2 comes too because we can read the book with a whole new context.
  • Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2025
    We got this book to read to our son before his new baby brother came and it was perfect. It’s very simple and to the point and paints being a big brother and being helpful so nicely. My son got very excited about his new role and how he could help with the new baby. I would absolutely recommend and would buy it again. The pictures are cute and the book is simple, perfect for my almost 3 year old.

    Adorable book to gift.
    It did arrive a little warped.
    I places it under a few heavy books; I think it will be fine. Reason I gave it only four stars is because I believe books should be carefully packaged to ship, and not just tossed in a box with other items. In this case, simply shrink-wrapping it would have helped.
