Customer Reviews

Great for older kids adding a sibling also

I bought this for my 5-yr-old son when we adopted a 2-yr-old. He loved it so much we bought it for his cousin when her parents added a baby when she was 7 yrs-old. She thought it was great also!

Awesome Book!

My daughter became a big sister at age two. Seven months later she still begs me nearly every day to read this. She giggles endlessly the whole time! A must have when you're expecting a new baby!

Hysterical reactions to a new baby

My 3 and 5-year olds can't get enough of this book. The funny things that the older brother in the story calls his new baby brother have my kids rolling with laughter. We now give this to friends and family as a "big brother or sister" present when a new baby is born.
