Now I'm Big!

Growing up--and helping out--is something to celebrate in this bright and bouncy big-kid book from Karen Katz.

Big kids can do all sorts of things babies cannot: zip their own zippers, drink from a cup, read their own books, and even sleep in a BIG bed!

And one big kid in this joyful book can do one more very special thing...help her new baby sister!

Karen Katz's energetic text and illustrations highlight the awesome aspects of getting big, making this an ideal book for older toddlers who are proud of everything they can do.
