Toby Is a Big Boy By Lou Peacock

Families with new babies and older siblings will see themselves reflected in this ever-so-sweet story of sibling rivalry as a young elephant gets frustrated with all the attention his baby sister is receiving.

Toby is no longer a little elephant. He’s a big boy now, much bigger than baby sister Iris. He can do exciting things all by himself. He can pour his own milk, read his own bedtime stories (sort of), and even reach the snacks high on the shelf that he’s been told are “just for mamas.” But sometimes it feels that Toby has to do everything by himself because Mama is too busy with Iris. And some things are really hard even for a big boy. Toby ends up with spaghetti on his nose, rain boots that don’t match, and toilet paper everywhere! He is mad. Luckily, Mama is there to remind Toby of the perks of being a toddler–and that no matter how big he gets, he’ll always be her baby.

有新生婴儿和年长兄弟姐妹的家庭将看到自己反映在这个兄弟姐妹竞争的甜蜜故事中，因为一头年轻的大象对他的小妹妹受到的所有关注感到沮丧。

托比不再是一头小象。他现在是个大男孩了，比小妹妹艾瑞斯大得多。他可以一个人做令人兴奋的事情。他可以自己倒牛奶，读自己的睡前故事（有点），甚至可以拿到架子上高高的零食，他被告知“只给妈妈吃”。但有时觉得托比必须自己做所有事情，因为妈妈太忙于爱丽丝了。有些事情即使对一个大男孩来说也很难。托比的鼻子上挂着意大利面，雨靴不匹配，卫生纸到处都是！他疯了. 幸运的是，妈妈在那里提醒托比做一个蹒跚学步的孩子的好处——不管他长多大，他永远都是她的孩子。
