Today I three books about new babies to share with you.
( You might be wondering why, well, there's a new baby boy on the way in our household, due on the planet September hurrah)
There's a house inside my Mummy Where my little brother grows, or maybe
it's my little sister No-one really knows. A gentle and tender story of a
little boy waiting for his little brother or sister to arrive. Told
with humour and a simple rhyming text, this is the perfect picture book
for all expectant brothers and sisters!
This one so far is our favourite. The message is really sweet and just enough for a 3.5 year old to comprehend.
There is so much to find out when a baby is born! What does it smell
like, and when will it walk? When does it sleep, and what does it like
to eat? A new addition to any family is exciting, but the experience can
alsobe worrying and confusing for siblings. Coping with the new
situations and emotions that arise can be very challenging. This series
of four board books deals with the anticipation of waiting for the new
baby, the excitement of the arrival itself, and the beginnings of the
special relationship that develops between siblings. The simple
conversational text and lively illustrations are carefully designed to
encourage further dialogue between reader and child.
This one is a little simpler, basically what will the baby do, etc, but Gigi seems to love to laugh at what the baby does.
This one is a little bit odd. Mum and sibling dream about all the things the baby might be when it grows up. Gigi found this one a bit confusing actually and she keeps saying I don't want to baby to do this etc when it grows up.
These are the three books we have found so far, but I know you all have some great recommendations. Hit us with them in the comments.
Happy hopping folks.

I know someone who will definitely need these books, going to share this with them. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Julie!!! How exciting. There was a book on the Hop a couple of months ago that I got for my grandson. Can't remember the author, but the title is "15 Things Not to Do with your (a) Baby!" He has a new sister, and he loves the book.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! My sister is due in September due. I will have to recommend these books to her.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your recommendations Julie. It sounds like Gigi has her own plans for her baby brother! (In reference to her reaction to "There's Going to be a Baby") I have the same dimension in my household. The older girl WILL be the boss! lol Thanks for linking into the Kid Lit Blog Hop.
