Ian is going to be a big brother, but it takes some getting used to. At first, everything belonged to him, and he could play with anything. The little bottle, the little cradle, the little top, the little bath, and the little baby seat were toys for Ian and his toy bunny. When he becomes a big brother, Ian suddenly has to share all his toys. When the baby also takes up his mommy’s entire lap, Ian is fed up. But then something unexpected happens?.

A warm and tender picture book about a toddler who has to get used to the fact that he is not an only child anymore. Pauline Oud paints a playful and familiar picture of what goes on in a child’s minds when a new little brother or sister comes home. For children aged 21/2 and up.
