baby sister

this is a really cute book about bringing home a baby sister...so it's functional and cute. as all good books should be. i am totally enamored with the illustrations, especially the title page. that elephant just kills me. i could've used a book when my parents brought my little brother home...instead i got a baby alive doll which freaked me out because it pooped.
