William is fed up with the attention his little sister gets. His mother can't watch him climb at the playground because Emma is crying, Emma sits in his old highchair at dinner and she wants to play with his boat in the bath. But William is determined she won't share his special cuddly toy, Spotty Cat. But when William comes home from playgroup one day, Emma is not well and will only stop crying if William hugs her. William remembers that he had Spotty Cat to hug when he wasn't well and decides that maybe Emma too will feel better if she cuddles Spotty Cat.
