My new sister ISBN: 9780237520205
Fairclough, Chris and Hunter, Rebecca
Published by Evans (First Times series), 2000

Bethan tells us about her new baby sister in simple large print sentences and bright photographs. We see Bethan and her family getting ready for the baby and Bethan hoping that her parents will still have time for her. After Megan arrives, Bethan finds she sleeps and cries a lot and sometimes she doesn't like her very much. As Megan gets older, Bethan find her more interesting. A good, simple introduction to what it is like to have a new baby in the family. Bethan has a facial birthmark, which is never mentioned, but makes the story that much more realistic and will help children in their acceptance of people who look a little different. An index and a page of advice for parents will prove helpful.
