Genre: Contemporary Realistic FictionGrade Range: Pre K I loved the relationship that was portrayed between the brothers in this book。 The baby kept on throwing his stuffed bear out of his crib， but the big brother was very nice and returned it each time。 The big brother never got upset or mad at his baby brother。 I thought it was very cute at the end of the book when the big brother let his baby brother help him build！

Lovely realistic artwork showing a boy playing in his room while his younger brother wants his attention and to join in。 Few words， but expressive faces！

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Spare text and lively illustrations tell the story of two brothers at opposite ends of a room。 The older brother plays with blocks on the floor， while a curious baby boy watches intently from his crib。After repeatedly trying to get his big brother’s attention， Baby finally gets what he wants—but not before a few silly， giggle-inducing incidents occur！

Oh！ Why didn't my library have this classic #OwnVoices book when my boys were little？ They would have related to it *perfectly。* Don't deprive your kiddos of a chance to enjoy it。 Absolutely adorable。 Universal and timeless。Reminds me of another classic we did love， Go and Hush the Baby， but that one is a bit more complex。 This is boiled down to the essence。 Oh！ Why didn't my library have this classic #OwnVoices book when my boys were little？ They would have related to it *perfectly。* Don't deprive your kiddos of a chance to enjoy it。 Absolutely adorable。 Universal and timeless。Reminds me of another classic we did love， Go and Hush the Baby， but that one is a bit more complex。 This is boiled down to the essence。 。。。more

This book is too simple and does not have enough of a story or teaching opportunity to be a repeated book in our house。 Once was enough。

It has a few short phrases that are repeated through the book。 But it's a great book to read with your child by looking at the pictures and predicting （what do you think will happen next？ How do you think the big brother feels？ etc）。 The artwork is beautiful。 It's a great way to talk about being an older sibling。 It has a few short phrases that are repeated through the book。 But it's a great book to read with your child by looking at the pictures and predicting （what do you think will happen next？ How do you think the big brother feels？ etc）。 The artwork is beautiful。 It's a great way to talk about being an older sibling。 。。。more

A pretty short childrens book about two brothers when they are little。 The book takes place in their playroom and the youngest brother throws toys and fits。 He wants to gain his brothers attention but doesn't know the best way to do it。 This book sheds light on what its like to have a sibling relationship。 I think its a good book for older siblings to read because the author shows that although younger siblings might not go about it in the right ways， they look up to their older siblings。 A pretty short childrens book about two brothers when they are little。 The book takes place in their playroom and the youngest brother throws toys and fits。 He wants to gain his brothers attention but doesn't know the best way to do it。 This book sheds light on what its like to have a sibling relationship。 I think its a good book for older siblings to read because the author shows that although younger siblings might not go about it in the right ways， they look up to their older siblings。 。。。more

Baby Brother is constantly ruining the meditative calm of preschool-age Big Brother， who clearly just wants to stack his blocks， would you leave him alone， for the love of God。 Baby Brother uses tried-and-true strategies of （a） feigning helplessness and then （b） unleashing maximum charm （what a smile！）。 For this reason alone， deploy wisely with your children lest they learn these tricks of the trade。 Also features that historical contraption the "playpen" and not an adult in sight！ Ah， a relaxin Baby Brother is constantly ruining the meditative calm of preschool-age Big Brother， who clearly just wants to stack his blocks， would you leave him alone， for the love of God。 Baby Brother uses tried-and-true strategies of （a） feigning helplessness and then （b） unleashing maximum charm （what a smile！）。 For this reason alone， deploy wisely with your children lest they learn these tricks of the trade。 Also features that historical contraption the "playpen" and not an adult in sight！ Ah， a relaxing reminder of the pre-helicopter days。 Also also features the best words in the English language: "NO， NO！" （complete with finger wag） 。。。more

WORDLESS （OR ALMOST）:Baby says is about an older and younger bother and how the baby brother kind of copies what the older brother does and says。 Wordless books are a little bit harder for some to grasp because you can assume whatever you want。 In the book you can see the older brother playing and the baby brother watching from his crib。 Eventually the older brother gets baby out to play with him and throughout the story he shares his things such as the teddy bear。 Even though baby seems to make WORDLESS （OR ALMOST）:Baby says is about an older and younger bother and how the baby brother kind of copies what the older brother does and says。 Wordless books are a little bit harder for some to grasp because you can assume whatever you want。 In the book you can see the older brother playing and the baby brother watching from his crib。 Eventually the older brother gets baby out to play with him and throughout the story he shares his things such as the teddy bear。 Even though baby seems to make a mess， he isn't trying to do it out of meanness。 Baby just plays differently then his brother and by the end of the book， I feel that older brother understand that。 I love how in the illustrations one side of the pages is mainly baby in his crib and the other side is older brother playing， but in these images we can tell that it flows from one page to another。 This is a book a would recommend for preschool aged children and younger because the illustrations are pleasing to the eye but where there aren't any words the child can imagine whatever they want to imagine about the book。 。。。more

October 2019 - such a delightful board book！ Told in a minimum of words with lots of repetition， with a story that made me laugh because it's so similar to my kids' sibling dynamic。 I think Eleanor enjoyed this one because it showed such familiar things。 Finding a board book that's truly aimed at babies， but actually has a story is such a rare thing。 October 2019 - such a delightful board book！ Told in a minimum of words with lots of repetition， with a story that made me laugh because it's so similar to my kids' sibling dynamic。 I think Eleanor enjoyed this one because it showed such familiar things。 Finding a board book that's truly aimed at babies， but actually has a story is such a rare thing。 。。。more

Baby Says by John Steptoe is about a little baby boy and his brother。 The baby is playing on his own with a big teddy bear。 Then he throws his teddy bear out and the other brother busy playing with blocks stops and picks it up for baby。 Baby then throws it again and the brother does the same， this time baby hit brother with the teddy bear。 Eventually the brother takes the baby out and baby destroys his brother’s block structure。 They then play together。 Each page has very few words such as: “Uh， Baby Says by John Steptoe is about a little baby boy and his brother。 The baby is playing on his own with a big teddy bear。 Then he throws his teddy bear out and the other brother busy playing with blocks stops and picks it up for baby。 Baby then throws it again and the brother does the same， this time baby hit brother with the teddy bear。 Eventually the brother takes the baby out and baby destroys his brother’s block structure。 They then play together。 Each page has very few words such as: “Uh， oh” and “No，” some even have no words。 The illustrations are light， colorful and very realistic。 They show the emotion very well on the characters faces。 On one page there is no words but you can tell the older brother is mad at his baby brother。 I would read this book to very young ages from 1 to preschool。 This book can teach kids to play nice with others。 。。。more

Although this is a book filled with graphics and little words， I think it is a great book for toddlers to explore。

A toddler continually drops a toy for an older brother to pick up。 The two siblings play side by side in an almost wordless scenario。 The baby uses simple verbal expressions while learning to communicate。 After repeatedly trying to get his big brother’s attention， Baby finally gets what he wants but not before a few silly， giggle incidents occur！

Great illustrations， and a timeless tale of how cute babies CONQUER ALL， even sibling interpersonal issues。 Definitely recommended for one-on-one/family readalong more than a group setting。

My favorite first book to read to a baby。

Altough this book has only Uh，oh， Here， No，no， Okay， the pictures are explaning what happens to them。 There are only baby and a kid。 The baby can not speak。 Just he can express his emotion with his behavior。 Also， the kid considered the baby， so he just used them。 I think they are enough because its situation and sentences are perfectly matched。

This picture book is about a baby who is determined to get his older brothers attention。 Steptoe use of light colors for the illustrations makes this book feel more light-hearted。 The pictures clearly show the emotions of the older brother and the baby。 This book has no words so the reader has to rely on the picture to tell the story。 Although the older brother is frustrated with the babies attempts to get his attention initially， he quickly realizes the baby just wants to go outside with him an This picture book is about a baby who is determined to get his older brothers attention。 Steptoe use of light colors for the illustrations makes this book feel more light-hearted。 The pictures clearly show the emotions of the older brother and the baby。 This book has no words so the reader has to rely on the picture to tell the story。 Although the older brother is frustrated with the babies attempts to get his attention initially， he quickly realizes the baby just wants to go outside with him and play。 This book shows the bond of the two brothers and the love they share for one another。 。。。more

What a cute book about two siblings trying to communicate！ A younger brother trying to communicate with his baby brother that is。 This teaches kids patience， love， responsibility， and patience！ This book is very simple to read （clearly for young ones） and it has simple colorful pages that display what the text is saying。 Such a cute and simple book， I give it 5 stars because it teaches the little things that are important！

This book is about how people always tell kids "no。" The baby in this story is throwing his toys and the brother scolds him; finally， the brother smiles and tells him "okay。" I could discuss with my class why people get in trouble。 This book is about how people always tell kids "no。" The baby in this story is throwing his toys and the brother scolds him; finally， the brother smiles and tells him "okay。" I could discuss with my class why people get in trouble。 。。。more

Summary:This Multicultural Picture Book is about a baby and his older brother。 It focuses on what baby’s always want， attention。 In the end， the baby gets what he wants， but I think the real meaning behind this book is the love that the brother has for his little baby brother。 I think this is a good read for young children so they can see how situations， like this book， normally play out。Analysis:Very colorful picture book。 It uses a lot of blues， yellows， and reds， giving off a happy vibe。 The Summary:This Multicultural Picture Book is about a baby and his older brother。 It focuses on what baby’s always want， attention。 In the end， the baby gets what he wants， but I think the real meaning behind this book is the love that the brother has for his little baby brother。 I think this is a good read for young children so they can see how situations， like this book， normally play out。Analysis:Very colorful picture book。 It uses a lot of blues， yellows， and reds， giving off a happy vibe。 The shading is also very bright。 The book uses lots of squares in it， giving more of a stability vibe。 There is also lots of vertical and horizontal lines。 This gives spacing to the images and really brings them together as a whole。 。。。more
