Title: I love Henkes other books but this one really is awful
Review: After reading and falling in love with Henkes' other books (Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse, Chrysanthemum, etc.) I expected to love this one as well. The other negative reviewers aren't being overly-sensitive. This book is AWFUL. The things the older sister whispers into her little brother's crib are downright horrifying. This book goes beyond simply showing the reality of childhood cruelty into the realm of normalizing sick and disturbed hatred. I started reading this book to the 4 year old boy that I nanny for and had to stop in the middle of it. He has two older sisters and the thought that he would assume this is what his sisters thought about him when he was born breaks my heart. Do your family a favor and do not buy this book, spend your time reading his other fabulous books instead.
