Quick Summary
If your kid has ever pretended to be a stealthy ninja in the living room, they'll immediately bond with Nina, the tiny, quick, and fiercely independent baby who thinks she runs the house. The story pops with playful humor as Nina's world gets turned upside down when her parents bring home a new "Kung Fu Master," and she must figure out how to keep her ninja status while sharing the spotlight. It's a great pick for early readers in kindergarten through third grade, especially those who love a mix of action and silly situational comedy, and even reluctant readers will blaze through its short, punchy sentences. Parents will appreciate the gentle lesson about flexibility and teamwork without any heavy-handed moralizing, and there's just enough mild tension to keep kids on their toes without being scary. Think of it as the ninja-twist version of classic "new sibling" books like "The New Baby" same warm humor, but with a lot more stealthy stunts. Perfect for a quick bedtime read or a classroom read-aloud, this book leaves kids giggling and maybe plotting their own ninja moves.
