I'm a Big Brother!

Luke's family has a new baby, and he's very excited to play with the baby, but his parents keep saying he has to wait.

As books of this type go, it's good. There are a few things that really make it feel like it doesn't match our family (Daddy isn't seen parenting much beyond the stereotypical 'Daddy holding nose when changing diaper', and Mommy is seen giving the baby a bottle instead of nursing), but all in all it's okay. It doesn't push the 'how cute' stuff, instead it focuses on the older brother having to wait to play with the baby.

In the end baby and Luke get to play. Yay.
