Wonderful story and the illustrations are so cute!

This is such a sweet story about how everyone keeps telling this little one to love the baby(a newborn sibling), but the older child is jealous and doesn't want to LOVE the BABY! When the baby starts fussing one night and no one responds to its' cries, the older sibling ends up going into its' room and surprisingly finds itself wanting to calm the baby and realizes that this baby isn't so bad after all! So they end up bonding and becoming best of friends and siblings. The illustrations are so cute, if you love bunnies you'll really enjoy this book. It's also a good learning lesson for children who will soon be having a little brother or sister joining their family.
