awesome book!

Customer Rating:

I bought this book for my son who will be 21 months when baby #2 is due. I love that there are no words so we can make up our own story at a level he can comprehend. It's wonderful to see the mommy breastfeeding and the daddy changing diapers, cooking, and dressing the baby. The amount of help the older sibling provides is great- showing his new baby how a rattle works, helping daddy cook, washing the baby with his mom, and reading to the baby. All in all, it's a perfect book for our family!

If you have a baby AND are expecting a baby-- this is the book for you!

Our little boy is 9 months old-- and in just 4 more months, he'll be a big brother! We've been looking around to find a book that we could share with him that might make the transition a little easier-- and we found it, totally, in this book. We have several other books that are just a little too old for our baby-- they'll show the big brother changing diapers or things like that. This big brother will still need HIS diapers changed once the new baby comes!! So this one is perfect because it shows things from a toddlers point of view. The pictures of Dad wearing a bjorn and of Mom nursing the baby are just two great examples of how perfect this book is for today's families. We are so grateful for this book! If you have a baby and are expecting a baby.... this is the one! Don't look any further!!! Good luck and congrats! :)

Love it!

My almost 2 year old and I just love this book. We make up our own story to it (it doesn't have any words), and it changes a little bit here and there. But I like that because I can point out different aspects of the situation to her. I like that it shows the mom breast feeding and dad helping out since that is similar to our situation. She loves it and I have seen her mimic it (holding the baby, helping get diapers/wipes, etc.) with her brand new baby cousin - without being taught or asked! She just saw the new baby and did it - like the big girl in the book. It is really amazing how children can learn from pictures while they are working on learning the words that goes with them.

Disappointing!! This book has no words!	Customer Rating:
I was very disappointed with this book. Unfortunately I purchased "Waiting for Baby" in the same order but have not received it yet. The product description does not state that it is only a picture book.

wondeful book for toddlers

Our 27 month old son loves this book and its companion, "Waiting for Baby" by the same author. We talk about what's going on in the pictures and he's always noticing new things, even after repeated readings. I like this book because it presents the introduction of a new baby as a natural, happy event. The mom is pictured breastfeeding not once, but twice and the dad is shown changing diapers, dressing the baby, strapping on a baby carrier and cooking dinner. It is rare to find a book which depicts both parents so actively engaging in the the care of a newborn. And the illustrations are just gentle and sweet too. Great little books for anyone with a young child.
