Bookroo's summary

Simon is frustrated by the arrival of a new baby brother, convinced his parents have forgotten him. As he grapples with jealousy and fear, especially of imaginary wolves outside, Simon wonders if his parents will still protect him. But as days pass, he discovers unexpected joys and surprises in having a sibling. Will Simon's perspective shift, or will the baby remain an unwelcome guest? Dive into this heartwarming tale of sibling rivalry and acceptance, where Simon learns that family bonds can be stronger than he ever imagined.

From the publisher

There’s a new baby in Simon’s house. “When’s that stupid baby going back to the hospital?” he asks. “He’s been here for three whole days!” This follow-up to the international bestseller Poo Bum cleverly subverts the new baby genre–with a happy ending. Simon is jealous of the tiny new baby in the house and can’t believe it’s here to stay. His parents don’t seem to understand the problem. But Simon soon discovers that a baby brother makes some things much better after all.
