That's a good review for this children book. It gives a great insight of what you will gonna find in it, and the purpose of the book, I really like that it can be used to teach something so useful as acceptance and friendship and love for ones family and a new member arriving to it. Aside from all that, is not a book I see myself reading any time soon, maybe if I had children I would though.

This is a welcome topic to be tackled by a children's book since it's an important event in any family. So, such a book, besides being fun to read and educational, it will also help children come to terms with a new addition to the family. Thank you for the review!

An easy to read, well illustrated children's book with wonderful morals for children to learn. Great choice for #BOTD

Thank you for the review! I read the Amazon sample, but that didn't get very far into the story. I could tell the setting was cute, though.

Thank you for your review, I can see you enjoyed reading this book, makes me think it's a good option for bedtime with wonderful teachings.
In relation to the question of what kind of creature is coming to the farm? I don't think the author is looking to build a mistery considering the targeted audience, instead I think it's meant to create participation from the little kids when you read for them.

Kittens on a farm and lovely images to go with it? This sounds lovely! Perfect for Christmas presents for my niece.

Using story to teach children is very effective. I recommend the book to primary school teachers. The review is good.

Though it looks like the book is meant for kids, this is very much applicable in adults. Kailey and Bunny reactions are very xnormal. We face these type of uncertainties in real life when a stranger is introduced in our midst.

Nice review!

I loved that the characters have personalities, despite being in a children's book. It's nice that there's a good balance between pictures and text.

I like your review and any time that a children's book is featured on the book of the day it makes me smile. I like that this book is for a younger audience because the book is written especially for this age group. I love the covert art and I am sure that the art inside is beautiful as well.

What I like about books for children is that they always implicitly convey a message for children, a lesson to learn. It is really so that in most families older children feel envious, worries that they will never be loved again, that their parents will be dedicated only to that other one. And this book teaches that all the members of the family are loved in an equal way. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

This would be a great book for parents who are expecting baby number two or three to read to their other youngsters. I love the use of animals to convey the message. This is a great review.

It's not only sibling rivalry that the book focuses on. There are also the lessons of diversity, discrimination, and tolerance. If you look closely, I'm sure there are others. Children's books are profound and hit the gut, if you really look hard. And animals are great teachers! Kailey, Sammy, and Melissa prove it.
