Our know-it-all narrator is at it again, in this hilarious companion to the New York Times bestselling How to Be a Baby . . . by Me, the Big Sister. Take it from the six-year-old bride-to-be: No one will marry you if you don't ever brush your hair and it looks like a bird's nest back there. And never get married when it's dark, because you might not see the groom, and marry the wrong person. When you have found your Own True Love, you must ask permission. Can I marry you please? you say. Yes, please, he says.
Here is the perfect book for kids who play pretend and throw mock weddings, and also for grown-ups who are actual brides-to-be. From the Hardcover edition.

PreS-Gr 2-The all-knowing narrator from How to Be a Baby-by Me, the Big Sister (Random, 2007) is back with more advice in this fun-filled guide to finding the perfect mate and planning a wonderful wedding. Using the same step-by-step format found in the earlier title, the precocious little girl shares her observations on what to look for in a spouse (nose picking is not acceptable) as well as what details are important to remember when planning for the big day. The advice is delivered in a running commentary as well as in lists of boxed text. Good places to get married include a castle, up a tree, or your playroom. The acrylic cartoons are filled with fun details that match the lively charm of the text. After the festivities, "the bride" says goodbye to the guests, skips all the way home holding her daddy's hand, and tells him all about her day. This book is sure to be a hit with fans of the first title as well as with the "Fancy Nancy" (HarperCollins) crowd.-Maura Bresnahan, High Plain Elementary School, Andover, MA Copyright 2009 Reed Business Information.

Publisher's Weekly Review

From the creators of How to Be a Baby... by Me, the Big Sister, comes a rambunctious and entertaining "guide" to getting married, narrated by an overzealous little bride. There are a few rules-"you can marry anyone you like! (Except they need to like you back)"-and traditions ("Now you throw a big bunch of flowers at people's heads"), but this bride's idea of marriage is all about pretend: when it comes time to say "I do," she's wearing a paper crown and the groom, a feathery, blue wig. With just a wisp of practical advice, this is a stylish and witty companion book. Ages 4-8. (Apr.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
