Tom is not impressed when baby Florence comes home. She didn't have much of a head start in his affections because - as the title of the book says - he really would have preferred a hamster. There are other problems on top of her not being a hamster though. She's small and she's ''fat''. For some reason Mummy and Daddy are completely taken with this new baby and Daddy even wants Tom to be 'a big brother' which he tells him is a very important job. Tom, of course, knows that being an astronaut is an even more important job.
If you've another baby on the way your child might also enjoy our review of [[I Want A Sister]] by [[:Category:Tony Ross|Tony Ross]] which looks at the problems which can arise when a child really wants either a brother or sister. For a more irreverent look at family life, check out [[Kisses Are Yuk! by Julia Jarman and Erica-Jane Waters]].
