Help Preparing Your Child For A New sibling

My husband and I read many books to our son during my pregnancy. He was eighteen months old when our daughter was born and we had wanted to prepare him as best we could. This book not only helped with this process, but was enjoyable as well. Cyndy Szekeres has written a series of books about a mouse family. In this book Tiny Mouse copes with the changes in his life brought about by his sister's birth. It incorporates the frustrations of shared attention in a realistic manner. It also stresses positive aspects about becoming a big brother. Our son wanted us to read this book to him repeatedly, before and after our daughter's birth. Having read this book so often, it wasn't a total surprise when his first words after meeting our daugter in the hospital were, "Our new baby mouse!" I highly recommend this book to expecting parents with young children.
