Excerpt
Scribble, scribble, scribble.
Kelly held her bright red crayon
tightly in her hand as she
shoved it over the page. Red
flowers, red sky, red grass.
She used to be careful to keep inside the lines, but not anymore. Mommy
used to say how nicely she
colored, but not any more.

Kelly thought having a younger brother would be like playing with one of her dolls. But she didn't expect mommy and daddy to stop loving her. Ever since the mommy came home from the hospital with the baby, everything has changed for Kelly. Now she's expected to tie her own shoes, and share everyone with the baby. Then Kelly learns that having a baby brother can be fun.
As a professional in a child care, parents frequently ask me for book recommendations, especially when they are expecting their second child. Bringing a new baby home holds special challenges for young children who were previously the only child in the household. And while I've had the pleasure of encountering a number of excellent books on this subject, none have been so terrific as KELLY'S BABY BROTHER.
Most children's eBooks are very much like the books purchased in the book store. KELLY'S BABY BROTHER uniquely utilizes strengths of eBooks to actively involve young readers in the story, providing lots of opportunities to click for extra pictures. Indeed, children love pictures of other children, making KELLY'S BABY BROTHER especially easy to identify with. The use of photographs that perfectly depict the frustrations and joys of bringing home a new baby, as well as the wonderfully told
story, combine for a dynamic reading experience. KELLY'S BABY BROTHER earns the
WordWeaving Award for Excellence.

Kelly has a new baby brother, and she doesn't like it one bit. She feels that whenever the baby cries, he is taking away her mommy and daddy's attention, leaving her with very little. Kelly wonders that if she acts like a baby, maybe her mommy and daddy will show her more attention. So, she grabs a bottle, lays down on the floor, and hopes for the best, but that doesn’t work. Kelly also thinks that they love him more than they love her, even though they tell her that it isn’t true. Kelly is a real little girl who feels unwanted, unloved, and jealous.
Is there anything that Kelly’s mommy and daddy can do to make her see that they love her just as much as they love her baby brother? What can Kelly do to get to know the baby better? Does she learn that baby brother can be fun? Find out by getting a hold of Rita Toews' book KELLY’S BABY BROTHER in e-book format from Writers Exchange today!
KELLY’S BABY BROTHER is a wonderful book to read to young children, especially if they have a baby on the way or if they have one currently living with them. This book lets small children see how Kelly feels and it describes perfectly how little ones can exaggerate every day happenings. Toews’ writing is easy to read and easy to follow. Children with a baby brother or baby sister will be able to relate to Kelly and hopefully learn that their mommy and daddy have plenty of love to give to each of their children.
Because that this book is an electronic computer book, it will work well as a teaching tool for word recognition and early childhood computer skills. All they have to do is click on the large buttons and text links at the end of each page.
Toews, a multi-award winner, is the author of several electronic children’s books. She has also co-authored three adult books with Hungarian author, Alex Domokos .
The professional photographs of children displayed in this book will let children see a real live girl, which will help them relate even more. Karin Falk is the photographer who lives in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
KELLY’S BABY BROTHER is a must have and it comes highly recommended by this mother of three/reviewer. Bravo!
