Nice book with lots of ideas on how to explain to your child about the upcoming arrival of a new sibling and activities to do with your child etc. Only problem is that your child would have to be pretty old to be able to use this book. I think 4 years old but maybe as young as 3. Certainly not appropriate for under 3. So if you've spaced your kids 2 years apart or so then this would not work for you.

This review is from: Kid's Book to Welcome a New Baby: Fun Things to Do and Learn for a Big Brother or Sister (Paperback)
I bought this book for my 5 year old and she loves it! We had a great time doing the "pre-baby" activities and she can hardly wait for the baby to come so that she can finish the other activities that are about the baby. Be sure to get this book well before the baby arrives, since the first 3 chapters are based on preparing the child for the new sibling. Based on the amount of journaling, experiments, and projects, I would recommend this book for 5 year olds and older. For younger children, I would recommend My New Baby and Me, also availble at Amazon.
