There is so much to find out when a baby is born! What does it smell like, and when will it walk? When does it sleep, and what does it like to eat? A new addition to any family is exciting, but the experience can alsobe worrying and confusing for siblings. Coping with the new situations and emotions that arise can be very challenging. This series of four board books deals with the anticipation of waiting for the new baby, the excitement of the arrival itself, and the beginnings of the special relationship that develops between siblings. The simple conversational text and lively illustrations are carefully designed to encourage further dialogue between reader and child. Review: Must have for sibling prep - I bought this book for my 2 year old daughter to prepare her for new baby... We had gone through the book many times before the baby arrived to make her aware ... Now its been over 4 months since baby has arrived and she still opens the book daily and matches our daily activities with those in the book, smiles and keep it back... She is so in love with this book that she use to sleep with it sometime back... I feel as if it has become her reference book :-) For me..it is a must for any parent trying to prepare their child for a sibling.... Review: Amazing - Amazing book.Loved it.

Excellent for preparing a toddler/preschooler for a new sibling
This book is a step on from the pregnancy book from what's happening with mummy to setting out expectations and experiences that may happen when a new baby arrives. The previous one was great to explain what was going on and so we switched from the pregnancy one to this from 28 weeks to help our now 3 year old process the kind of things that may happen, ask questions and role play with her dolly before her little sister arrives. It uses comparison in many pages as a developmentally friendly way of engaging with the target ages' comprehension- why do I use the potty while baby uses nappies? I eat food whilst baby has milk? But also explains other things like going for a walk and still spending time with mummy and daddy. The good thing about this book is if you are intending on breastfeeding it is treated very naturally here, no hoohah or over-explaining, just natural that baby is breastfed, other books I've seen emphasise bottles which is great for bottle feeders but confusing for this age group if you intend to breastfeed. A downside is whilst somewhat androgynous (I'm leaning both children are boys) this book isn't as ethnically ambiguous as others in the collection with clearly blonde Caucasian children, for some it won't matter, for others visual representation is important, you need to decide where you stand. Overall an excellent book to prepare your circa 18mo-4 year old for a new sibling and the changes and differences in life shown in a gentle, positive and developmentally supportive manner.

Molto carino
Libro molto carino in inglese. È bello perché i bambini raffigurati sono vestiti in maniera da non fare capire il genere, in modo che ogni bambino/a possa immedesimarsi meglio nella storia. Oltretutto questo è il primo libro per bambini che sfoglio dove è presente una pagina nella quale la mamma allatta. Al mio nipotino di due anni è piaciuto molto.

very helpful
My 3 year old really connected to the little boy in the story. The book showed many examples of what life will be like with a new baby.
