A bit long-winded for a 2 yr old. Nothing like old Sesame Street books to remind all of old folks of all the characters that have gotten the axe over the years or shoved out of the lime light.

I probably read this book and had this book read to me a hundred times or more. I got it at the age of three when I was going to get a baby sister, and it helped me understand what to expect. Even after she arrived, I kept reading it because Herry really knew what I was going through. Also, my sister's name is Kerry, which is kind of like Herry. I'd recommend this book to any kid who's going to be a big brother or sister!
