Bookroo's summary
Caroline Crocodile is fed up with her drooling baby brother, whom Mama adores. Determined to find a better sibling, she visits a baby shop. But each new baby—panda, giraffe, piglet—has its own quirks. As Caroline navigates this comical adventure, she discovers that her imperfect brother might be the perfect fit after all. Will she embrace the chaos and love that comes with family?
From the publisher
A jealous big sister learns a very loving lesson in this warm and funny picture book about sibling rivalry, featuring charming text and retro-nostalgic artwork. Caroline Crocodile is not thrilled with her baby brother. He drools. A lot. But all Mama Crocodile ever says is how GORGEOUS he is! And so Caroline ventures into a baby shop to swap out her brother. Unfortunately, the baby panda is a fussy eater, the giraffe is missing scales, and the piglet isn’t green. Turns out, the best younger sibling around might just be her own yellow-eyed, sharp-clawed, drooling baby brother.
