This was a sweet Arthur story as well-I liked what it can teach kids whose parents are about to have a baby! Arthur’s mom comes to them and tells them that she’s having a baby; Arthur seems to be nervous about it! All of his friends start telling him all of these bad things, such as having to get ear plugs because it’ll be so loud or that he won’t be able to do anything ever because he’ll have to babysit all the time. Arthur’s mom starts to get ready for the baby, and he sees babies all the

Arthur was not very excited to get another baby sibling. His friends all had advice for him and his sister D.W. was extremely excited to take care of a new baby. When the baby does come D.W. tries to take care of it but Arthur comes to the rescue and of course ends up loving the baby. Great book for a student that is expecting a new sibling.

What happens when Arthur and D.W. have a new little sister? Things do not go as planned for D.W., but all is well when Arthur saves the day to make baby Kate stop crying.
I love Marc Brown, we have most of his books and this is one of my girls favorites!

Arthur isn't sure how he feels about his little sister Kate. But, as much as D.W. seems to know, Arthur just may have a better grasp when it comes to understanding what Baby Kate needs. =)

Many students really enjoy the Arthur books. You could suggest this one to them. The girls especially like this Arthur book because of the new character, Arthur's new sister!

A good book to read if you are expecting a new baby or just had a new baby added to your home. It made my girls want another baby brought home!

The book was about Arthur meeting his new little sister. We didn't like the book that much it was not at that interesting. SM

This is a fun book for children that are fans of the Arthur show. This story is about the arrival of his baby sister Kate.

Great book to read to students if they are about to have a new baby brother or sister, it helps teach them about responsibility and to be honest with their parents about how they feel. It's always an enjoyable book also to read for fun. I would choose this book mainly for one student especially if they are expecting a new family member, rather than a large group maybe.

ok - one more new baby and older sibling book. This has all the greatness of an Arthur story, with the anticipation and nervousness of having a new baby in the house, that all resolves in the end. I always loved reading the first lines (over and over) to my kids when were expecting a new baby:
"we're going to have a new baby!"
"what, a baby??"
"yes, in about 6 months!!"

This book has pretty pictures in it. The story is good, too. The story is nice for people to learn how to take care of a baby if they have never known how to.

The addition of a new sibling is often a mixed blessing for youngsters. Reading is a great way to help alleviate some anxiety and there is certainly no shortage of books on the subject. Brown has written yet another one to add to the collection and a cute one to boot.

I'm working on entering all the books I've ever read. This book was one of them. It's a children's book. I read this book a long time ago.

I think that the new baby sister is very cute but Arthur now knows that baby are very important.
