Beth has a new baby brother. He cries, he sleeps, he gets all the attention, even though, thinks Beth, he's 'a silly, silly baby'. But her opinion changes when she holds him and finds he's soft and small and smiley. The simple text - only a few words on each page - effectively sums up Beth's bewilderment and it works especially well when set against the warm, expressive illustrations.
