Book Overview

"Will you cuddle me?" asked Wilbur. "Will you give me a ride on your back?" "Soon," said Mother Tiger. Now that Wilbur has a new sister, his mother and father NEVER have any time for him.

Customer Reviews

Great for Big Brothers & Sisters

I bought this book for my first son when I had his little brother. He loved having me read it to him at the time. He had a lot in common with Wilbur -- the new sibling, the busy parents, the inclination to get too loud and rowdy around a sleeping baby. Two and a half years later, both boys occasionally pick it out for me to read at nap time.

A good book for the new big brother/sister

My three year old daughter seemed to really relate to this book. I feel that it helped her to understand that her Mommy is not the only one telling their child to wait a minute while they tend to the baby. She asked me to read it many times and to renew it when it was due back at the library. I will be buying this for a friend's older children upon the birth of her new little one.
