That New Animal is a very cute book about adding a new member to the family. There are two dogs that are almost forgotten by their owners when a new baby arrives. They do not like the new baby because they aren't getting enough attention. Soon Uncle arrives and tries to pick up and play with the new baby. The dogs do not like a stranger touching their "animal" and need to protect him. They find out that the new animal isn't so bad after all.
This is a really cute book with neat pictures. I think it would really help an older sibling understand a new little brother or sister. They might get left out but the new baby needs extra special attention because he is new. I think that this book would work better in a family home rather than a classroom. If the child's mother reads them this book vs. the child's teacher, the mother reading it would mean more. I might read it to my daughter when I decide to have a new "animal".
