Summary: Cute, like the rest
Comment: I'm writing this review mostly to counter-balance the review below, which is pretty harsh. The book is cute, like the rest in the series, and this one does a good job of reassuring older siblings that they won't be forgotten because of the fuss over the new baby. I don't think it's really worth five stars, you understand, but I don't think it should get an average of only one, either. Frankly, any book that (1) amuses my son, and (2) doesn't have me trying to skip pages to get to the end is OK by me. Honestly: three stars.

Summary: Pass this baby duck by!
Comment: I first discovered the Baby Duck series with Amy Hest's delightful book, "In the Rain with Baby Duck". My toddler loved that book and we read it over and over. Having just had a new baby, I ordered "You're the Boss, Baby Duck" with high expectations of a similar experience. What a disappointment! While it captures how an older sibling may feel left out, it was very negative towards the new baby. I kept waiting for the part where Baby Duck bonds with the new baby and discovers how great it is to have a little brother/sister. Instead, by the end of the book, Baby Duck decides to let the baby stay "for a couple of days" so that she could boss her around. What kind of message about sibling love is that supposed to be sending? If you've just had a new baby in your house, I recommend "Arthur's New Baby" by Marc Brown instead. It effectively captures a child's jealousy in a much gentler way and has a much happier resolution.
