Bookroo's summary

Ben's show-and-tell plan goes awry when his baby sister won't stop crying. From the classroom to the principal's office, chaos ensues. Can Ben find a way to calm the storm? With the school in an uproar, Ben realizes only one person can save the day—his mom. Dive into this delightful tale of unexpected school adventures and sibling surprises.

From the publisher

Ben wants to take something really neat to school for show and tell. What could be neater than his new baby sister? But his sister doesn’t want to co-operate. She cries in his backpack. She cries at the teacher. She cries at the principal, who decides she must be sick. When they call in a doctor, she cries harder. Ben knows just the right person to call to help–his mom! A newly designed Classic Munsch picture book introduces this charming tale of a very noisy baby to a new generation of young readers.
