Very Tiny Baby by Sylvie Kantorovitz-NO

Kantorovitz, Sylvie. The Very Tiny Baby. Charlesbridge Press, 2014. $14.95. PICTURE BOOK.

Jacob’s mom is expecting a new baby, but Jacob isn’t sure how he feels about a new addition to the family. When the baby comes out too early, Jacob experiences what happens to his family. Fear, loneliness, lack of attention, and jealousy. Will he find a way to be happy with the new baby?

Although the story would be good for helping younger kids coping with such a problem, there are pictures in it that are questionable and could’ve easily been left out. Besides that, however, the book seems to be talking down to the reader and is hard to follow.  Since there are better books out there, I would not recommend this book. Pre-K only. NO. Reviewer: Jessica Moody, Library Media Specialist, Olympus Jr. High.
