Summary: A big help
Comment: My son was only 2 1/2 when his little brother was born. Even though we tried to prepare him for the event, this book did more than we ever could. Given to us by a friend, I have since given out several copies to friends of ours going through this experience. This book really helped my older son understand that even though we had a new baby in the family, he was just as special to us and that we loved him just as much. As far as I'm concerned, this book has proven to be wonderful for boys about to become big brothers. In fact, he still loves to read it with us, almost a year later.

Summary: Good for older toddlers, preschoolers
Comment: I bought this book to help my almost-three-years-old son adjust to the idea of a new baby brother or sister. He loves it and asks to read it about four times a day. The text is easy to understand. It explains some of babies' limitations ("Too little to walk. Too little to talk.") and also talks about why babies cry, etc. The illustrations are really sweet and everyone is smiling, even the kitty cat.
The one thing I don't like about this book is that it assumes the mom will be bottlefeeding. There are bottles in several pictures (one shows the brother giving a bottle). Since we breastfeed, I would have preferred a book where the mother nurses the baby. However, this hurdle was easily overcome by some quick mommy text improvisation. ("Babies like to nurse," instead of "Babies like to drink milk"). All in all, it's a great sibling book and one I don't hesitate to recommend.

Summary: Great book for Big Brothers
Comment: We bought this book to help my son get ready for his little sister's arrival. It has simple text and really highlights on the differences in big kids vs babies. Gets him excited about the big kid things he already gets to do without wanting to regress. I also liked the way the book touches on the nurturing side of the big brother and the parents towards both children. The pages are a little thicker if you have a toddler prone to ripping pages, mine hasn't yet. They are holding up well. A great book that is asked for atleast twice a day by my son! I recommend it.
