3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, February 27, 2006

By	Emma (Milltown, NJ) - See all my reviews

I bought this thinking it would be a good book for making the first child feel special once there was a second child. While I love God gave us you, this story is a bit confusing mathwise as it is God gave us two yet they end up having twins so it is really God gave us three. Unless you know you are having twins don't bother. Too confusing for the age group it is intended for. For a good book on the same theme with less confusion try "All my favorites." There are three bears in that one but it makes sense.

5.0 out of 5 stars Soothing book to love for your child expecting a sibling, February 26, 2002

By	A. Stephens "rangies" (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I saw this at a baby shower and had to have it! The illustrations are wonderful, and the book combines a little religion and a wonderful way for parents to explain the blessing of a second (or third...) sibling. We have enjoyed this book very much.

5.0 out of 5 stars A precious book!!, October 18, 2004

By	K. Ketterman "housefullofgirls" (WV) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My sister gave this book to my daughter when I found out I was expecting twins. We had "God Gave Us You" and read it to her almost every night so this was the PERFECT gift for her! The message throughout is so sweet...that every child is a gift and every parent still loves their child even when one (or two!) new baby/babies join their family.
