Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A big-kid dinosaur can't wait to teach the new baby everything in this funny, tender, joyful take on becoming a big sister or brother, from the celebrated artist of I Don't Want to Be a Frog
Good news- Your mom's hatching a baby! Bad news- Babies take their sweet time. And when they finally do hatch? They're too little to play! They don't even know how to be a dinosaur. That's where you come in. You can teach your baby everything -from peek-a-boo to roaring to table manners to bedtime. Growing a dinosaur is a big job, but you're perfect for it. Because one thing the baby wants more than anything? It's to be just like you.
Silly humor and sincere, moving moments, make this hilarious, reassuring, and useful "guide" a must for existing big brothers and sisters and for every big brother and big sister to-be. Great fun for family reading too.
