Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-- A rhyming text relates all about the new baby--how it came from the mother's tummy; that it cries, eats, and sleeps a lot; that the sibling narrator is a helper; and that there is plenty of love to go around. Gewing's reassuring tone and matter-of-fact attitude neither generates excitement nor creates any interest. The first-person narrative sounds more like an adult's voice than that of a child: "When the baby is ready Mama knows. Away to the hospital with Daddy she goes." The alternating black-and-white and color illustrations are realistically drawn, and the infant is particularly well depicted. This is an adequate presentation in a subject area that boasts numerous superior titles; Lasky's A Baby for Max (Scribners, 1984), Rogers' The New Baby (Putnam, 1985), and Walter's My Mama Needs Me (Lothrop, 1983) are only a few. --Karen K. Radtke, Milwaukee Public Library

Excellent way to prepare a younger child for new baby.,
This review is from: Mama, Daddy, Baby, and Me (Hardcover)
This book is great at giving the important details for a small child and leaving the rest open to each individual families differences. The child waiting for a baby could be a boy or a girl and same with the new baby. I especially liked the page with the mother nursing, it was realistic, but appropriate. We had the book memorized and it helped our child know what to expect.

Too advanced for my 15 month old,

This review is from: Mama, Daddy, Baby, and Me (Hardcover)
This book is very nice, however it is too long and too involved for my 15 month old's attention span, he loses interest almost immediately and has never asked us to read it to him. I think it would be great for an older child expecting a sibling.
5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent book for the toddler expecting a sibling.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mama, Daddy, Baby, and Me (Hardcover)
This is the perfect book for the young child who is expecting a new brother or sister. The lyrical rhymes and lovely, realistic drawings delight, entertain, and help explain what it will be like when that new person arrives. Written from the perspective of a toddler, the book hits all the right notes.
