My daughter and I really loved this cute story about a puppy called Brady who got a new sister called Mandy. Mandy really annoys Brady, and he doesn't want her there, as he is jealous of her and he doesn't want her touching his stuff. Will he be able to learn to appreciate her and allow her to share his things? The graphics in the book are amazing, and the ending was so lovely.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

A Little Sister for Brady is a fantastically cute story about how Brady the dog feels when his family gets another dog. It explains how even though change can be scary it is not a bad thing. This book was beautifully illustrated and was a joy to read to my 5 year old son.

Thank you to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for my ARC.

The arrival of a new member in the family brings a lot of changes and unknown feelings in the little ones. Sharing toys and the love and attention of parents is not easy. This book can help for both parents and children in the process.

I appreciate the idea behind this book but the illustrations I find old school and the faces are even scary.

I thank NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for this Advance Reading Copy.

"A Little Sister for Brady" has gorgeous illustrations and is a rhyming story that little humans can certainly relate to. It's not easy being the older sibling of a brand new baby sister ( or brother ). Why you are expected to share your food, your toys, your treats and your parents with someone who is unfamiliar with the family dynamics and who has no boundaries. That doesn't seem fair now does it?

Brady expresses first his surprise and then his frustration as puppy Mandy steamrolls into his world and ruins everything for him. He reaches a tipping point where he wishes she would go away and never return so he can experience normal once again. Then guess what? One day she is taken away and Brady finds himself longing for her return. Maybe she isn't so bad after all and he really misses her.

This books open up a dialogue about change and how it can be for the good. It gives opportunity to express personal feelings and find solutions if there is a need to. The beautiful illustrations greatly enrich the text which will engage new and reluctant readers to enjoy the book also.

There is a companion colouring/activity book available and a downloadable Teacher's Guide to pursue the topic even further. The book is wonderful and highly recommended.

This is an interesting play on a new sister. Using the story of a puppy, Brady and a new puppy, Mandy. This story shows that while we might not like the new addition first we soon realize we can't live without them.
A new puppy is brought home and she is annoying and takes Brady's things and eats his food. He wishes she would go back where she came from. But when she is gone for the day he realizes he misses her more that he thought he did.
Perfect story for a family about to expand.

An enjoyable book, helpful for parents to share with their child when a new arrival is expected. Colourful and cute, I think it’ll serve its purpose well in engaging a younger audience.

I like the concept behind this book. but it just didn't work. It was like a one sided conversation the entire time and just didn't flow. The illustrations were ok, but not my favorite.

Bringing a new child into your family can be confusing at best, so books like A Sister for Brady help navigate those challenges and tough feelings.

This was the cutest book! It is the perfect example for kids to be kind and thoughtful to everyone because you never know when they will be gone!
I will absolutely be reading this to my kids!

I am such a sucker for dog books! We have two dogs and this is exactly how we picture the older one dealing with a new puppy!! A great message for children with younger siblings.

A Little Sister for Brady is a sweet book that shows change isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Brady is upset when his parents bring home a new little sister for him, but once she disappears from the house he realizes she might not be so bad after all. He misses the fun times they had together and doesn’t mind sharing things things anymore.

This book will be great for children welcoming a new little brother or sister. The illustrations were really cute as well and I enjoyed the rhyming text.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a review copy.

this is a great book to teach little kids a valuable lesson: that change doesn't always mean something necessarily bad and that sometimes you might even come to like it and realize you don't want to go back to the way things were before. the writing is easy to comprehend and the art is pretty enjoyable, as well. if you want a book for children that is both enjoyable and educational, here is one!

3.5 stars. A cute story about adapting to change, told by a family dog who is lonely but uncertain about the arrival of a new little sister. When forced to change and share, will be resent it or decide it's worth making room for a new friend?

This is a very relatable tale for young kids, and they'll enjoy it being told through puppies. The illustrations are comic-style and are bright and lively. The text unfortunately sacrifices word choice, phrasing, and meter in the service of rhyming. I stumbled over several stanzas, so definitely give this a pre-read before reading aloud.

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!
