Toddler-PreS—Chick is annoyed with his new baby brother in this sequel to The Runaway Egg. Everyone told chick that he would like having a new baby brother, but so far he doesn't agree. The little chick follows him everywhere, is not good at playing games, and cries all the time. One day, the big Chick accidentally stays out too late and has to walk home in the dark. Luckily, baby brother is there to walk home with him. The sweet and simple illustrations do not provide any additional details to the text. This topic has been approached by many others and this title adds nothing new.
VERDICT A cute addition but libraries can easily pass on this one if their sibling-themed shelves are getting crowded.
