Ellen and Penguin and the new baby ISBN: 9780744544312
Vulliamy, Clara
Published by Walker, 1996

Ellen and her toy Penguin are not at all sure they like baby brothers. Baby must go everywhere with them, cries at all the wrong times and is given some of Ellen's old things. It is Penguin, of course, who is unhappy, and it is he who cannot sleep at night, so Ellen must walk round and round with him, just like mum with the baby. All is well when Ellen and Penguin make the baby laugh. A good story about transference of the pain of jealousy onto an inanimate object. Wonderful pictures!
Age: 3+
