This Baby Is Not Cute!

This Baby Is Not Cute! by Miranda Birthisel is a funny, big-hearted picture book about new siblings and the bumpy business of sharing the spotlight. Gus is perfectly happy as an only child, where every burp, squeal and silly idea earns smiles from Mum, Dad, Nanna and Grandad.

Then Blossom arrives, and suddenly the house is full of coos and praise for a baby Gus can only describe as dribbly, boring and—obviously—stinky. As Gus wrestles with jealousy and a whole new set of rules, he begins to notice what it really means to be a big brother, and why change doesn’t always spell disaster.

Perfect for toddlers and preschoolers, and for families welcoming a new baby, this Australian picture book is ideal for bedtime reads and gentle chats about feelings.

Add it to your shelf for a warm, laugh-out-loud read you’ll return to.
