Review
In this sweet and simple story, Leon's baby brother, Marcel, has just been born. Leon is worried about where the little baby will fit. There's no room for him in Leon's room, he's too small for Mommy's arms (that's where Leon fits). In the end, Leon is delighted to discover that Marcel fits perfectly in his own arms. Emile Jadoul accompanies his uncomplicated text with flat images of penguins and simple backgrounds drawn with a loose, sketchy style. Overall, No Room for Baby is a gentle story of a big brother accepting his younger brother. Recommended as an additional purchase.
