Another American import featuring sibling rivalry with animals (mice?) playing the human parts. The arrival of new baby Jake sends Henry into a spate of regressive behaviour and attention-seeking ploys. Everyone cheerfully insists on how big be is until even he can laugh at himself. All ends well with hugs and a new tricycle. Limited well-spaced text makes it a possible for early reading.
