The Topsy and Tim books have always been good and this one lands in the same category. The book is simple, the concept is sweet and the illustrations and language have a nice way of weaving a story about how Topsy and Tim go and see the little baby sibling of Tony Welsh. Children who know the characters in the Topsy-Tim series will enjoy it.

Such a cute book involving older sibling and friends when there’s a new arrival. Hafsa laughed hard at the baby getting his nappy changed. She now considers it childish as if she herself wasn’t wearing nappies till a month ago.
