Reviewed by Sandy Costanza D’Youville College, Buffalo, NYSuper Sibling is an adorable video geared toward teaching older siblings what to expect when their newborn brother or sister joins the family. Presented by Doctor Higabigaby a whacky would be superhero, the presentation is funny, engaging and informative. How to hold the baby, feeding the baby, what babies look like, how to help with the baby and feelings regarding the baby and the change in the household are all areas touched upon by Doctor Higabigaby with the help of his computer “Roo”. The colors and choices made by Roo seem a little dated and the presentation is somewhat drawn out for its young audience.
In addition one drawback is that bottle feeding is not addressed as a possible feeding option.
