The Tibbies family of cats has a new baby, but Billy Tibbies does not want to share a room with his brother. Instead, Billy moves out. Retries to find somewhere better, but everywhere he goes there is a problem-faucets drip or places smell. Finally, Billy gives up and returns to his family just in time for story time, but his sister will not share space on the couch with him! Father sends them off to bed. Upstairs, they find baby Eric jumping on Billy's bed. It looks like fun, so both join in. Not for long though. Up comes father and sends them all off to bed . . . his bed . . . which he now must share, much to his displeasure! Ages 4-8. Reviewed by Isabel Killoran, York University, Toronto, ON
