I Used To Be Famous by Becky Cattie and Tara Lebbue    32 pages

THis book is so cute and is all about the thing we all know about, when you have been the center of attention and the apple of everyone's eye until all of a sudden somebody younger and cuter and newer comes along bumps you off the throne and steals your place!   I'm talking younger family members!  It is a very relatable, adorable telling of how one has to deal with life's first lesson in You Are Not All That.   The little girl telling the story is a starlet in the making complete with family and friends paparazzi constantly taking photos of all the cute cool things she is doing until her fan base falls away and starts following the new kid in town, her baby sibling.    She finally realizes the baby really is sweet and loveable and she finally decides to show the new kids the ropes on how to become star material.   I loved this story.   I recommend it to all kids, parents and readers who love children's literature.   Great book.
