CHILDREN'S BOOK OF THE WEEK, THE GUARDIAN
"Finally a book that brings you the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but THE TRUTH ABOUT BABIES! Funny, honest and illustrated with hilarious pictures, this will provide the growing family with lots to talk about." EAST ANGLIA TIMES
"This dwells not so much on the beautiful aspect of newborns as the messy, noisy side! It's very funny and allows an older child a sense of superiority over her smelly baby sibling. A positive message at the end suggests the irritation of a new baby may actually be worth it." PRACTICAL PARENTING
"My boys loved this funny book. It prompted lots of chat about when they were little and really made them giggle." PRACTICAL PARENTING READER REVIEW
"Andrea Shavick proves herself to be an extremely talented children's author as she skillfully constructs the familiar situation of parents telling their children about babies. She weaves into her text humour and a genuine warmth for the intended audience. Terrific fun for child and adult to share." www.amazon.co.uk reader review
"Enlightens the sibling about the inevitable downside of pregnant mums and 'sicky, stinky-bottomed' new babies. Andrea Shavick offers sound agony-aunt advice to a long suffering sister, and assures her that the cloud has a silver lining. Charlotte Hard's cartoony pictures leap off the page and exude chaotic humour."
