Summary

This beautiful, funny picture book perfectly captures the feelings of a child with a new baby in the family.

Don't! Summary

Don't! by Marie-Louise Fitzpatrick

Once there was Daddy and Mummy and me.

Then there was Daddy and Mummy and me and...

BOO!

Boo can roar, kick and bite. But so can Geraldine. And she's not going to be left out! She roars very loudly, kicks Mummy and bites Daddy. Things are looking bad and only Geraldine's toys seem to understand her. But when Geraldine cries, Baby Boo cries too and suddenly everything changes. Don't cry, Baby Boo, says Geraldine. Don't cry.

Now there is Mummy and Daddy and Geraldine and Boo, a happy family who all love each other.

Don't! Reviews

Beautifully illustrated with lovely warm colours throughout, really captures the early stages of adjustment that a family goes through when a new baby arrives.

* Children's Books Ireland *

A funny, silly picture book perfectly capturing the feelings of children when a new baby joins the family.

* Armadillo Magazine *

Sensitively written and illustrated, Marie-Louise beautifully captures the feelings of a young child adapting to a new baby in the family. I'd strongly recommend families in a similar situation to the family in the story to get hold of a copy of this lovely book and share it with the big brother or sister. It's a good one to add to foundation stage collections too.

* Red Reading Hub *

...expertly encapsulates the new-baby-sibling experience for young children... the story will have you gripped from beginning to end... sure to resonate with any young reader with baby siblings, a must-read to have in every home.

* Books Ireland *

This funny picture book with beautiful illustrations perfectly captures the feelings of a young child's frustration when a new baby arrives in the family, and steals some of the attention previously bestowed on them. This is a really good read aloud book for two years and above... an especially good for children who have recently welcomed a new baby into their home...

A simple story, perfect for young pre-schoolers which also works well as an action story, with children roaring, kicking, and pretending to bite - we had a lot of fun with it.
