You're Getting a Baby Sister!<p> Sheila Sweeny Higginson, illus. by Sam Williams. Little Simon, $7.99 (24p) ISBN 978-1-4424-2050-2 <p><p> With sensitivity and humor, Higginson gives prospective older siblings the scoop on what to expect from the new bundle of joy: Baby sisters are darling./ Baby sisters are cute./ But don't let her looks fool you--/ because here is the truth. Williams's gentle pastel palette depicts families celebrating the arrival of their baby girls; the expressions on the older siblings' faces show mixed emotions. Little sisters drool, smell, scream, and break toys ( the ones you love too ), concedes Higginson. But there is a silver lining: You can be her first teacher--/ show her things that you know./ Give her patience and love--/ she's just starting to grow. It's a pitch-perfect primer that reminds readers of the upsides of being a big brother or sister, without minimizing or trivializing those less-than-wonderful moments.
