When pregnancy forces her mother to cancel their long-planned trip to Milan, she feels that things couldn’t possibly be worse…until the English Roses have to take Charlotte’s younger brother to the circus! Patrick is the brattiest of all brats and his tantrums make Amy glummer than ever at the thought of having a younger sibling. But when she visits her mother in the hospital and holds the baby for the first time, Amy realizes she can’t wait to be a big sister after all!

Very cute book, Dec 17 2010

This review is from: Big-Sister Blues #5 (Hardcover)
Just got this book in the mail yesterday. Purchased for my almost 8 year old step daugther because her mom is pregnant. This is a chapter book, which I did not know. Not sure if it isn't mentioned in the description or if I just missed it. The illustrations are great but I wish more of them were in color. The story line is very appropriate however, the characters are kindof like nice little divas so if your child is more down to earth, they might not get some of the humor or references. For example, the main characters mom is a fashion buyer I think and gets some designer perfume for her 8ish year old daughter before its been released by the distributer...AND the big "conflict" in the plot arrises becuase they mother has to cancel their trip to fashion week in Milan due to her pregnancy. Even though some of these concepts might be a bit odd to kids whose parents are not millionaires, the book does deal with all the feelings associated with being the only child and then suddenly learning of a new baby and all the worries about sharing parents time etc...Plus it is written by Madonna which gives it's cool factor a little boost ;)

A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Big-Sister Blues #5 (Hardcover)
I love the books but the games don't work on the website. The "super secret" passwords provided at the back of each book don't work. It's a shame that the website is of such poor quality, when the books are wonderful.

My daughter loves these books! She's nine, so eventhough some of the story lines include crushes on boys (the girls in the book are a bit older) they mostly focus on these girls, their lives, their unique personalities and friendship. She gets through each one pretty quickly and I have to rush to get her the next! I'm glad I have another daughter who will be able to enjoy them too when she's older. Great girl stuff!
