Book 22

Mallory McDonald, Baby Expert

Mallory wants to be excited about Mary Ann and Joey’s new brother, Charlie. He’s so little and cute, but he’s the only thing anyone is talking about! Whether it is about painting the nursery, taking family photos, or attending a baby shower, her friends are so caught up in the excitement of having a new baby brother that Mallory feels like they’ve forgotten her. Is there a bright side to the changes baby Charlie brings?

“     Now that baby Charlie is here, he’s all anyone is talking about. Mary Ann and Joey are so busy doing baby stuff that it could rain candy, jewelry, or even skateboards, and they probably wouldn’t notice!  ” Mallory McDonald—Mallory McDonald, Baby Expert
