Bernard can't wait for his mother to come home from the hospital with his new baby. He had told his mother the exact kind of baby he wanted: a baby that doesn't cry or spit up. Above all, he wanted a baby brother. Waiting for his mother to bring his baby brother home seems like an eternity to Bernard. When the big day arrives, Bernard gets more than he wished for -- a lot more. Joan Elizabeth Goodman and Dominic Catalano have created the perfect book for any child whose world suddenly changes with the arrival of a new sibling. Like other Bernard adventures, this story features gentle humor and a warm family setting.
