Synopsis
The New York Times praised this best-selling picture book as "adorable, original, well-illustrated and fabulous." In this first book in the How-To Series (which includes How To Get Married and How to Get a Job), the know-it-all big sister narrator tells it like it is: When you're a baby you don't read books. You eat them. You don't know how old you are, or even if you're a boy or a girl. And you have to keep a special plug in your mouth to stop your scream from coming out. But one day, you won't be little anymore, and then you'll be taller and smarter, and actually quite clever. Like the narrator. And you'll be able to share memories of what it was like when you were little with your incredible Big Sister.

Review
Review, The New York Times Book Review, December 2, 2007:
"An ultracharming picture book."
"There's plenty to pore over in the detail-rich scenes, and the childlike but deft lines match the text's exuberance . . . This is perfect family fare and a welcome departure from storybooks that assume the worst when a new life joins the family."
From the Author
I wrote How to Be a Baby by Me the Big Sister as a kind of
revenge on my three little sisters . . . not really. But since I'm the
oldest, I obviously am the expert here-I mean, after all, I saw them when
they were babies but did they see me? And I actually held them and fed them
bottles of milk, and had to look after them, and hear all their baby
squawkings-but where were they when I was a baby? Exactly. Anyway, so I
know things.
