When his newborn brother comes home, five-year-old Jonathon doesn't understand what all the fuss is about. Daniel is just smelly, drooly, and burpy. After Mom bans calling him names like Barfburger Baby, Gasburger Baby, or Poopburger Baby, Jonathon starts building a wall of blocks to separate himself from his new sibling. Visiting relatives try to make the child feel loved and included, but they only manage to enrage him more. Finally, a self-confident and teasing older cousin–who knows a thing or two about being a big brother–makes life more bearable by showing Jonathon the privileges of being the eldest.

"The late Danziger's first picture book brings to sibling rivalry the same funny, honest, unromantic view of childhood she displayed in her Amber Brown easy-to-reads, and Karas' clear, cartoon-style pictures stay true to five-year-old Jonathon's furious viewpoint and his wild jealousy at being displaced by a new baby brother. Family fun that's great to talk about. ” -Hazel Rochman American Library Association.
