CHILDREN'S BOOKS
The narrator of ''That New Pet!'' by [Alane Ferguson], illustrated by [Catherine Stock], is a Siamese cat, who, along with a dog and a parrot, finds his life disrupted by the arrival of their human owners' baby daughter. At first they don't know what the new critter is, but the cat, the smartest of the bunch, figures it out and says ominously, ''When a baby comes - EVERYTHING CHANGES!'' Getting the baby to smile is also the key to ''Little Rabbit's Baby Brother,'' by [Fran Manushkin], illustrated by Diane de Groat. Little Rabbit, whom some may remember from the popular ''Little Rabbit's Loose Tooth,'' goes on a picnic with her father and pregnant mother. She does tricks for her doting parents and basks in their attention. But at home, when her parents talk about the coming new baby, Little Rabbit worries about losing her place in the house. She has an anxious, though not too scary, dream about searching for a new home: She runs across some friendly polar bears who invite her to live with them but finds their hugs too icy. A more realistic, less rosy approach marks ''It's Not Fair!'' by [Anita Harper], illustrated by [Susan Hellard]. The story is told by a young kangaroo who gets angry when her new brother seems to receive preferential treatment. ''That's not fair,'' the kangaroo sulks as her brother's messes are ignored while hers are criticized. ''It's not fair,'' she fumes as the baby sitter comforts her screaming brother while shushing her. But the tables start to turn as the book explores her baby brother's feelings. The little kangaroo begins to realize that her brother has some complaints too. He can't splash through puddles on rainy days or go sledding like his sister. He can't accompany her to her play-group. When the baby brother finally learns to talk, he watches his sister leave for a party and howls ''It's not fair!''
