The New Small Person by Lauren Child
3.0

Age: Preschool-Kindergarten
Family: Older brother, younger brother

One of the same but a relatable story for older siblings. Elmore Green enjoys the quiet and attention of being an only child. All of the things he treasures (or, at least, are mentioned by the author) are quickly stamped out as a baby is brought into the family. Although he is annoyed by his brother, he soon finds that having a companion is rather delightful. I like how Child refers to the little brother as "it" until the very end, when Elmore Green decides to share a precious candy with him.
