Synopsis: Hannah's new sibling is due any day, and Hannah is certain it will be a baby girl. Why? Well, because Hannah already has a little brother. It's very logical, and Hannah has it all worked out. Her baby sister will be named Patsy and she will have red hair and love fudge swirl ice cream, and she will be the best.

Craft ideas:

• Make a pillow bookmark for your brother, sister, and/or parent, and decorate it with his/her name, favorite things, and descriptions.
• Make a paper "chain" using vocabulary from the story, i.e. nouns, verbs, adjectives.
