Aren't You Lucky! by Catherine Anholt

'Aren't You Lucky.' that's what everyone says, but to the first 'baby' of the family, the arrival of something that 'looks like a raspberry', and does nothing but sleep, eat and cry; can feel anything but lucky. This story charts the nine month wait, the visit to hospital and the homecoming, and then explores with sensitivity and humour, the joys and difficulties of becoming a big sister. 

Catherine and Laurence Anholt are well known for their books about family life, and this book certainly shows that they 'really know their audience.' (Books for Keeps).
