Dial Books (2018)
Good news: Your mom’s hatching a baby! Bad news: Babies take their sweet time. And when they finally do hatch? They don’t even know how to be a dinosaur. That’s where you come in. Silly humor and sincere moments make this hilarious and useful “guide” a must for every big brother and big sister to-be.
