John doesn't like his baby sister. She's a no-good baby that isn't good for anything. And for good reason, she's messy, destructive and downright mean. So John's mother tells him that they will send the baby away since she's no good. This reaction allows John to reflect upon his little sister's qualities (really anyone with a small child can connect to this book because it is funny how the baby and her brother interact) and in the end he decides that she isn't so bad after all. I applaud John's mother for dealing with sibling resentment and jealousy in the proper manner because she sent the baby off to Grandma's for the night she she could spend more quality time with John (because obviously from his attitude he is looking for more parental attention).
My no-good baby ripped the first page out of this book. She didn't even get the idea from the book either...
