Marjorie Newman (Illus. Ken Wilson-Max), Just Like You Did

Bloomsbury, 9780747564263 | Suggested age range: 0-3

The difficulties of being usurped by the arrival of a new baby are explored in a no-holds-barred but ultimately reassuring picture book. George doesn't want the baby to have his cot, he doesn't like the visitors coming and cooing all over the baby, he doesn't like his mum being too busy to play. In fact, he'd like to go back to before the baby was born. But that's not possible. Instead, Dad and Mum point out that the baby will change 'just like you did' and there will come a time when the two of them can be friends. Bold illustrations capture George's mounting anger and the parental reassurance that calms him down.
