I'm looking for books for readers 5-8 years, about life at home with a new baby sibling. Can you help?

My parents got me (when I was 3) A Baby Sister for Frances. Like Frances, I was jealous of my baby sister. This story is honest about a kid's feelings towards a new sibling. I'm sure my parents added more books to the library but that's the only one that stayed. The Other Dog is cute and funny.

I see that they are picture books. Would you know of any books on the same theme, but for the next level up, ie early readers/ chapter books?

Yes, ours are as well, but they will open up again one day. The picture books that I listed probably are more suitable to the 5 - 6 year old age range rather than the 8 year old age. However, A Baby Sister for Frances is also a picture book.
I will put on my thinking cap for older books, but picture books are my expertise.

Also some librarians are still available, working from home for online advice exactly like this situation. Check your library's website.
Don't forget tumblebooks, probably your library card will grant you free access. And if a book you want isn't avl. there or on Libby/Overdrive, also check openlibrary.org.
