But Jenna must face reality. That strange thing in her house is a new baby sister and the baby is real. Kids in similar situations will probably enjoy this book a lot. My one complaint about is that brand-new babies don't smile, but otherwise McNamee has done a great job of capturing what the experience of having a new sibling can be like.
Illustrator K.C. Snider provided colorful pictures that show both Jenna's imaginary adventures and the real world in a cute way.

Yes, new sibs can, and usually, are a real adjustment! This is a great topic--and so needed.
Thanks, Nancy.

Imagination is always a wonderful thing, but coming back to reality can be painful for some kids. Kevin's new book sounds as if it will be a big help in case of a bumpy landing. Congrats!!

Thanks, Nicole and Margot.
Thanks Jan for reviewing my book and thank you all for your kind words. I do have to respectfully disagree with you that newborns don't smile though. My daughter did, and it looks like she had plenty of company.

Thanks to everyone for the comments.
Kevin, I stand corrected. New baby smiles may be unusual, but they're not unheard of.
Thanks for sharing the review, Jan. Sounds like a cute book that can be helpful as well.
Sounds like a cute book. I'm sure it will help kids who have to deal with new siblings in the house.
