Customer Reviews

Fantastic big brother purchase

This is a wonderful book! It really focuses on the big brother... his favorite foods, favorite things to do, gifts he received when baby was born, etc. It also ties in similarities and differences between big brother and baby, all from the big brother's point of view. I highly recommend this book. A parent will have to help fill in the answers if big brother can't write yet. But, what a great one-on-one activity!

A scrapbook

When I purchased this, I did not realize it is a scrapbook for an older child to fill in, which is my fault for not reading the description carefully enough. That said, it would be a great activity to do with a 5+ year old sibling in preparation for the new baby. It was not age appropriate for my 2 year old however.

We love this book!

This is a fun book for new siblings (there's a sister version, too). I've given several as new baby gifts to the siblings. My son has one now that he's a big brother, too. The personalization makes it really special for the kids. Especially appropriate for ages 3-8, but will work for younger siblings, too.

Great Gift for the Big Sib!

This interactive, colorful book kept our proud new big brother engaged for several hours over several sittings. He loves the fact that he has his "own book" about his special accomplishments, and loves working on it as I work on his baby brother's book. Highly recommend!

Great for Children's Ministers!!

I am a Children's Minister & get this book for the older siblings of any of our new babies that are born! It is an excellent way to assist parents & children in the transition of having a new brother or sister! Check out the "Big Sister" edition of this book as well!
