Customer Reviews

Great for my big-sister-to-be!

I'm trying to get our almost 2 year old ready for her baby brother's arrival, and I found this series PERFECT. I especially liked a few things about this: 1. It shows mommy breastfeeding! Since we all know how much time nursing mothers spend doing this, it's great for my toddler to see mommy nursing in the book. I think it will help her prepare for it once baby is here. 2. Daddy is helping out in the books while mommy nurses! How great. I do not want my daughter raised that childcare and housework is "Woman's work"... daddy even takes baby and toddler out for a walk in the book. The illustrations are beautiful, and there are no words so you and your little one can talk about what you see and make up your own story! It's interesting to see how they percieve the pictures. I highly recommend this for those of you with toddlers getting ready to become big brothers and sisters!

Absolutely delightful for the AP family

One of the very few books I have ever seen that shows the mom nursing, while the dad changes diapers and the little child (boy I think) helps. Then the dad goes for a walk in the Bjorn, does the cooking, and everyone looks happy, not worried or uncomfortable that a new baby has arrived like other books sometimes portray. TRULY a wonderful book. Great that it doesn't have words, much nicer to make up your own.

23 Month Old Loves It

We just started to read this book (and a few others on this subject) and this is our 23 mth old's favorite. She wants to read this one and a few other baby related books a few times each day. The book doesn't have any words in it but you'll have no problem talking about what is happening in each of the pages. It's neat to listen to other people's version of the "text".

This book really helped my toddler understand...

This book really helped my toddler understand what was going to happen. He was only 23 months when his little sister was born so his language skills weren't very developed. In the last few months of my pregnancy he would look at this book over and over and over again and you could see understanding dawning on his little face. On day, he was "reading" it and then, all of a sudden, dropped it, ran over to me, and gave me a really big hug. I think that was his moment of truth, lol. Two thumbs up!

Respectful and Realistic

We loved that this book depicted relationships in a respectful and realistic manner. The older boy helps out Mum and Dad, plays alone with baby, has time playing quietly by himself and at the end of the day when baby is in bed, has some quality time alone with Mum and Dad reading a book. We also liked how Dad is actively involved eg he cooks dinner while Mum nurses baby.Although it had no words, our 1.5 year old twins loved pointing out and naming objects that they knew and of telling us what was happening. For example:"poo" (baby getting nappy/diaper changed) "wah, wah" (baby crying)"shh" (baby sleeping)We got a number of new baby books, some good some not. This is one that we'd recommend.
