Synopsis
The baby of the world is anything but that to his big sister--until Cousin Garland dares to criticize him. When baby Julius is born, his parents think he is just perfect. "Julius is the baby of the world," they chime as they kiss him and admire him. But Lilly is Julius's older sister, and she knows differently. "I am the queen," says Lilly. "And I hate Julius." Poor Julius. And poor Lilly, because her selfish behavior is making her miserable, too. Can anyone persuade Lilly that her brother really is the baby of the world? This funny picture book classic from the beloved Kevin Henkes explores sibling rivalry and children's sometimes fragile self-esteem in a real and approachable way. Share this book at home or at circle time--with or without siblings, kids ages 3-7 will relate to the emotions and enjoy the story., The riotously funny Lilly, last seen in Chester's Way (Greenwillow), thinks her new baby brother, Julius, is disgusting -- if he was a number, he would be zero. But when Cousin Garland dares to criticize Julius, Lilly bullies her into loudly admiring Julius as the baby of the world. "Julius is the baby of the world," said his parents. But Lilly, his older sister, disagreed. She thought he was disgusting. She hoped he would go away. But he didn't. He stayed and stayed and stayed. Nothing her parents said or did could change Lilly's mind about Julius. But when Cousin Garland had a thing or two to say about the situation, Lilly had a change of heart.

great art work and story
This story is wonderful for children. When Lillys mom is pregnant Lilly is so happy. When the baby comes and steals the attention she is infuriated. She does all sorts of things and says all sorts of things, but when someone else tries to say anything mean about the baby watch out! Funny and touching at the same time.

I've bought several over the years and kept the first one for myself.
Great book for firstborns, when the new baby comes. Hilarious. I just bought one for my neice, when her firstborn wasn't thrilled with her second. I couldn't bear to part with my copy I bought 28 years ago when my second was born.
