'Mr Fred has been crying all day ! ' Billie laughs and takes Mr Fred.' I'm bored of playing mummies and daddies.' She says .' Let's go and play soccer'
Jack and Billie run into the garden to play. Billie sits Mr Fred on the grass to watch . Oh dear. Look at those grey clouds. Soon it starts to rain. Billie and Jack run inside .But they forget someone. Poor Mr Fred! He is going to get very wet , isn't he ?
Chapter Two

'OH!' she says. ' I think the baby is coming!' She calls to billie's dad. Billie climbs out of bed and helps her mum downstairs, Billie gets a funny feeling in her tummy . ' Can I come with you ?' she says.
' No, sweetheart,' says her dad, ' Remember, we said that you will stay at Jack's house when the baby comes.' 'How long will you be?' asks Billie, feeling worried, ' I don't know, Billie,' says her mum. she squeezes Billie's hand ' But just think - next time you see me , you will have a little baby brother or sister!' But Bille has decided she doesn't want a silly old baby anymore. She wants her mummy ! Billie scrunches up her face and tries not to cry.' It's all right , Billie.' says her dad gently.
Jack's mum comes over to pick up Billie. They watch Billie 's mum and dad drive off. Billie's mum blows a kiss but Billie looks down at the ground . She doesn't want them to go without her. Jack's mum gives Billie a cuddle. ' I have made a bed for you in Jack's room,' she says. They walk next door. Jack is already asleep, His mum tucks Billie into the spare bed. Jack's room looks strange in the dark . Billie wishes she was back in her own bed. Suddenly she sits up .' Mr Fred!' she whispers, ' I need Mr Fred!’ ' Oh， dear. We'll get him tomorrow,' says Jack's mum. ' How about you sleep with one of Jack's toys tonight?' Jack's mum give Billie a big blue teddy bear. He is vey soft and cuddly. But he's not like Mr Fred. Billie lies in the dark . Her tummy is curling up with worry. she can't remember where she put Mr Fred ! You remember where he is though , don't you?
Chapter Three
The next day , Billie has breakfast with Jack's family . But she doesn't feel very hungry. Just then there is a knock on the door. It's Billie's dad! ' Billie!' he says excitedly . ' Guess what? You have a baby brother!' 'A brother?' Billie says, frowning. ' But I wanted a sister! Who will wear all my baby dresses now?' ' Oh , Billie ,' says her dad, giving her a cuddle. 'You should see him . He's beautiful! And I'm sure he'll look lovely in your pretty pink dresses' Billie giggles. ' Where's Mum?' she asks. 'Is she coming home now?' ' Not yet,' Her dad says ' Mum has to rest. She will be at the hospital for a few days. But we can go and see her.' A few days!' Billie says crossly . 'But I want Mum to come home now.' She stamps her foot. Billie's dad sighs. He thanks Jack's parents for looking after Billie. Billie and her dad go back home for Billie to get dressed.
Billie feels all jumbled up inside. She is excited to see her new baby brother. But she also feels a teensy bit cross that he is a boy , not a girl. She is excited to see her mum, but she is also cross that her mum is not homing home yet. All these feelings bubble up inside Billie's tummy like a milkshake. Then she remembers, ' Mr Fred' she says ' I have to find Mr Fred to give to the the new baby!' 'OK,' says her dad.
' But quickly, Mum is waiting for us.' Billie looks everywhere for Mr Fred. She looks under her bed . No Mr Fred. Then she checks her toy box . Not there either! She checks all the places Mr Fred could be , But he is nowhere to be found.' We have to go now' Billie's dad says. ' We can give Mr Fred to the baby next time.' 'No!' says Billie. ‘I want Mr Fred1' She stamps her feet . ' Billie!' says her dad . He is looking very tired. ' Come on . You have to be a big girl now' ' But I don't want to be a big girl !' Billie cries. ' I want to be a baby too!' Billie's dad bends down and gives her a big hug . ' It's OK,' he says gently. ' You will always be my baby girl, Billie. Now how about we go see Mum?' We can look for Mr Fred again when we get home .' Billie stops crying and give her dad a big cuddle.
Chapter Four
Billie and her dad arrive at the hospital . Her mum is sitting up in bed. She holds out her arms and Billli jumps onto the bed for a cuddle. Billie's mum points to a plastic cot next to the bed . ' There's your little brother ' She says. ' His name is Noah. Isn't he adorable?' Billie looks into the plastic cot. Noah is wrapped up like a fat white caterpillar. His face is all squishy and red. He doesn't look very adorable to Billie. ' Would you like a hold ?' her mum asks " Nah, ' says Billie , snuggling up to her mum . ' Maybe later.' Billie's mum lets her change the channels on the TV. Then Billie tells her mum about poor lost Mr Fred. Soon it is time to go . Billie kisses her mum goodbye. She even gives Noah a kiss. He smells nice . Like banana pancakes! ' Bye-bye, Baby!' Billie says softly. Just then Noah opens his eyes . He looks straight up at Billie. A little smile creeps over his tiny face. Then he closes his eyes again. ' He smiled at me !' Billie gasps. 'Wow, Billie! You're the first person he 's smiled at , ' her mum says. ' That's because he knows you're his big sister, ' her dad says. Billie feels very proud . She is the first person her baby brother has smiled at . He likes her! Maybe it will be fun to be a big sister after all . ' OK , time to go , ' says her dad. 'Let's go home and look for Mr Fred, shall we?' When they get home , Jack is waiting on Billie's front doorstep. He has something in his arms. Something big and furry and wet and muddy . 'My Fred' Billie says. 'Oh dear, ' says her dad
'Did you leave him out in the rain?' Billie nods . She gives poor old Mr Fred a big cuddle. She has missed him so much!' I don't think I want to give Mr Fred to Noah anymore,' Billies says ' After all, Mr Fred is a bit old and dirty for our new baby.' Billie knows that being a big sister will be fun most days. But some days she might want to be baby, too. She will need Mr Fred on those days. ' But what will you give the baby?' Jack asks. Billie smiles.' Our new baby needs a new teddy bear, ' she says ' Just for him!' Then she giggles. ' And do you know what else? I think Mr Fred needs a bath！'
我的评论：
当Billie 知道有了 小bb 后开始是很为妈妈开心的，但当妈妈真是去生产时要离开她，她自然产生了不想要小BB的心理，还开始发脾气了，因为孩子是想独占妈妈的，这种想法很正常，家长不需要讲多少大道理，看到她的爸爸的做法吗？给她拥抱，当她觉得bb不是她想要的性别时，因为不能穿她的小衣服，爸爸是给鼓励安慰，说小弟弟一样可以穿会很漂亮，很好的安抚了她的心情。Billie想送小熊给弟弟，但是找不到时，她的情绪暴发了，爸爸说她的个大孩子时，她说出了心声，我不要做大孩子，我还要做小宝宝，因为在她心里小宝宝得到父母更多的关爱。爸爸这时是怎么做的呢，他没有有训billie不听话呢，他当时是在非常累的情况下，但爸爸说，你永远是我的小宝宝，安抚了她的心理，给她合理的建议，可以先去看妈妈，回家再找小熊。这时Billie的情绪被安抚，她也消除了对弟弟的敌意。现实生活中很多家长不能处理好孩子的这种情绪，当听说有了新宝宝的，孩子本心都会开心的，但一旦他们觉得的利益受到损害，比如父母不再那么关心她了，她就会有本能的反抗情绪，父母的作用就很重要了。
当在医院时，她一开始不想抱宝宝，因为她觉得宝宝并不像妈妈说的那样可爱，这很正常，孩子看不漂亮的东西就是不漂亮，但当宝宝对她笑时，妈妈爸爸是怎么说的，弟弟爱你，你是他第一个对人笑的人。这可能不是真的，但对于billie来说是非常大的鼓励和安慰。你喜欢她，她就喜欢你，这就是孩子的心理。她立刻喜欢上了弟弟，觉得做个姐姐还不错。所以这本书虽然很简单，却教会父母对待第一个孩子对第二胎有情绪时，要懂方法，有情商。
