He waits and waits, but they always have to feed the baby, give her a bath, or find her rubber ducky. And, what good is she anyway? She can't even growl properly!

Suddenly, he can't wait to tell the world all about her...Every child who ever had a younger sister or brother--or is one--will want to read this loving story again and again.
