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

Absolutely delightful for the AP family,
By
This review is from: My New Baby (New Baby Series) (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.

Nice wordless boardbook for families with new babies,

This review is from: My New Baby (New Baby Series) (Board book)
This is a short board book about a toddler experiencing life with a new baby. Most of the pictures are peaceful watercolors, a few I thought were too busy for small children to process what is happening in the story. But overall, it's a nice gift to an expectant family as it doesn't put words into the mouths of the older sibling ("I feel left out. I hate the baby." blah blah blah like so many other "new baby" books do.) but rather allows the reader to adapt to the actual child's situation. (Maybe there is a child out there that is excited to have a new sibling? What a concept!) Bonus: breastfeeding is pictured twice, discreetly. Mom nurses the baby while Dad fixes dinner and so on. My 2.5 yo found this a fun book to page through on her own as she awaits her own new baby in the family.

Respectful and Realistic,
This review is from: My New Baby (New Baby Series) (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: We got a number of new baby books, some good some not. This is one that we'd recommend.
