This review is from: There's a Brand-New Baby at Our House and...I'm the Big Sister! (Paperback)

We have found this book to be very helpful in helping our older daughter adjust to her new sister. It is fun, interactive with lots of vibrant and clever art. We will be giving this book to all our friends who have older siblings and are expecting a new baby.

5.0 out of 5 stars Phenomenal!!!!!, June 22, 2005

This review is from: There's a Brand-New Baby at Our House and...I'm the Big Sister! (Hardcover)

This book is a wonderful treat for the older sibling. Our daughter was almost 4 when our son arrived and we gave her this book. She had been an only child for awhile so the adjustment to older sibling was difficult for her. I made certain to sit down with her periodically after the new baby came home to work on her story and write how she felt about the baby. This book helped us carve out special time focused just on her.

Our son just turned one one June 18th and my daughter and I again sat down and finished the last several pages of the book. She loved looking at old pictures of herself. The best thing about the book is that our daughter now has a wonderful record of her feelings about the new baby as well as pictures of her as a baby, her with our son, and our son (the baby) during his first year. This book really made our daughter feel special and will continue to do so whenever she looks back at it.

By A Customer

This review is from: There's a Brand-New Baby at Our House and...I'm the Big Sister! (Hardcover)

I am a Children's Minister & get this book for the older siblings of any of our new babies that are born! It is an excellent way to assist parents & children in the transition of having a new brother or sister! Check out the "Big Brother" edition of this book as well!
