Editorial Reviews
Review
This lovely boardbook is filled with charming illustrations that tell their own story without words. Using pictures, the book shows a young boy getting used to his new brother or sister, with his parents making sure he is never left out. This is a considerate illustration of how to involve the existing child with their new sibling. As there are no words, parents will have the chance to add their own to tell a story that their own child will understand. The pictures perfectly capture the delight that a new addition to the family can make. youthinmind.com 20031201

Format:Board book
One of the very few books I have ever seen that shows the mom nursing, while the dad changes diapers and the little child (boy I think) helps. Then the dad goes for a walk in the Bjorn, does the cooking, and everyone looks happy, not worried or uncomfortable that a new baby has arrived like other books sometimes portray. TRULY a wonderful book. Great that it doesn't have words, much nicer to make up your own.

Format:Board book
We loved that this book depicted relationships in a respectful and realistic manner. The older boy helps out Mum and Dad, plays alone with baby, has time playing quietly by himself and at the end of the day when baby is in bed, has some quality time alone with Mum and Dad reading a book. We also liked how Dad is actively involved eg he cooks dinner while Mum nurses baby.
Although it had no words, our 1.5 year old twins loved pointing out and naming objects that they knew and of telling us what was happening. For example:
"poo" (baby getting nappy/diaper changed)
"wah, wah" (baby crying)
"shh" (baby sleeping)
We got a number of new baby books, some good some not. This is one that we'd recommend.

This book was a little hard to read with the lack of words! However in looking at the pictures we found lots to talk about including Daddy cooking, the baby sleeping and having to be quiet and breastfeeding (not in our other big brother type books). I find my son interacting more with this book than the other ones which he just listens to. Although he doesn't choose to read this book as often as the others I find it gives me more of a reading on how he's understanding this whole new baby experience.

Great Picture Book
This book doesn't have any text so you're able to tell your own story. The child is gender neutral making it even easier to use your child's name. Read more
