Customer Reviews

is there a new baby at your house?

Iris has just learned that she is going to welcome a baby to her family. Her parents have told her that in the spring when the roses bloom then it will be time for her baby sister to be born. She is very excited about the idea and brags about how much fun it will be for and Walter to play with the baby. She thinks it will be just like having a doll to play with. When baby Rose is born, things aren't just like Iris thought they would be. Find out why in this installment of Iris and Walter! Iris has lots of questions about what it will be like to have a baby around. The book would be great to read as a family if the family is going to have a baby. Taking about Iris's feelings after reading the book will help young children understand that a baby is hard work but that the parents will still love the first child no matter what. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who needs to prepare a child for a new siblings arrival
