About the author
Linda Elovitz Marshall
27 books17 followersI have always loved words. My parents said I spoke in full sentences before I was a year old. They also said I didn't walk until I was two.
I was still a baby when I saw a TV commercial about a vacuum cleaner and its expandable bag. That night, my parents begged me to eat "just one more bite." I refused. Using a phrase I'd learned from the vacuum cleaner commercial, I explained, "My stomach is fully expanded." My parents laughed...and I was saved from having to eat that dreadful "one more bite."
My love of words extended to foreign languages. I was one of those kids who loved school. I loved Hebrew school, too. Learning Hebrew taught me that words can be composed of roots and that those roots can change, often in predictable ways. I noticed some of the rules I'd learned in Hebrew applied to English, too. I also love word games, puzzles, and etymology, learning about the origins of words.
Some of my other favorite things include being outside, exploring, and being around animals. When I was a child, I wanted a horse. I didn't get one. But when I grew up, my husband and I moved to a farm. That's where we raised our four children...and sheep, chickens, and rabbits. It's also where some of my stories are based.
I also love teaching and have taught all ages, from babies through college. I've taught parents, too.
When I write stories, I combine so many of the things I love. I'm always learning and exploring...and having a fabulous time!

Cuteness alert! I love books about growing families, especially when a pet is involved.
This book is told from the dog's point of view and he talks about how all the changes in his life affect him. It's so adorable.
I love the illustrations in this book. The bright colors and sketchy drawings are perfect for telling the story.
If you're looking for books about new babies, pets, or expanding your family, this should be on your "to read" list. Older siblings will love watching the dog's transformation from being displaced to figuring out where he fits in the growing family.

There will always be a market for picture books that target older children who wind up losing "market share" in the family, due to to the arrival of a younger-and-cuter baby.
Among such books, "Mommy, Baby, and Me" skews extra-cute.
FIVE STARS awarded, in honor of those older children who need the reassurance of this book's happy ending.

From the dog's point of view a young family starts to grow, and the dog has to cope with feelings of replacement and then with finding his new place in the family. Good new sibling book as a child could easily relate to the dog.
