Readers follow baby Benny through his first year as he grows and develops. Each page features a box of information that expands on a topic raised in the story such as why Benny likes to look at a face close up and why Benny makes a face when he smells something sour like a lemon. Young children who are about to become siblings or are already siblings and find that they have many unasnwered questions about their new baby brother or sister will find this picture book helpful. The illustrations are big and clear and help highlight key points of the story, but select pages feature depictions of Benny's anatomy and a view of Benny's mother's breast as she is feeding him. Written by the award-winning team who created Parenting magazine and with the help of a panel of doctors and child educators, parents will appreciate the broad range of knowledge contained within this text.Genre: Informational Picture Book
