 A Great Book November 17, 2008
In the hustle and bustle of bringing our new daughter home we hadn't realised we had been given this book for our 21 month old son. So, a few months later we found it and we've been reading it most every night since. As a result of reading this book my son now gives his sister a bottle of water in the afternoon (with just a little assistance), brushes her hair in the morning and is constantly telling people he's a big brother now. He really related to the story and it seemed to help him understand a little better what had changed in terms of his role in the family. We're about to move on to My Big Boy Potty now!!
Great Book! October 30, 2008
My 3yr old son loved this book. It helped him understand the importance of being a big brother. Almost a year later and he still pulls the book off the shelf to read. I now buy the book for friends who are having babies. Highly recommend!
loved it! October 14, 2008
I bought this book for my almost 4 year old son, soon to be a big brother. He loves it so much he asks us to read it every night. But the best part is that he is now looking forward to his baby sister being born or as he put it "out of mommy's tummy" and that he understands that she would not be able to play "trucks" with him for a while. He proudly announced to his preschool class that he was going to be a "Big Brother" and that he was going to help mommy make the baby "warm and comfy", just like in his book!
Great Book for a 2 Year Old! August 5, 2008

We bought this book for my son (2 years) when I was pregnant with our second child, who was born this past May. While I was pregnant, he wasn't interested in the book and gave a defiant "NO!" whenever I tried to read it- but once the baby came, it quickly became a favorite. My son has it memorized and will "read" it to himself and his baby brother. The book is simple and easy to understand but also gives some good guidance that toddlers can understand (such as needing to ask Mommy first to pick up the baby!). It also focuses on him and not the baby (i.e. "I'm special in a new way- I'm a big brother now!"). This book became an instant favorite when my son recently gave the baby a big hug and whispered, "I love you Brady. I'm your big brother now".
wonderful book, for kids of all ages June 19, 2008

I bought this book for my son, to prepare for the arrival of his baby sister. He was only 16m when I started reading it to him, and almost 2 when his sister ws born. He LOVED this book. he requested it nightly (making my life easier cause I would have read it anyway =)) He was so excited to be the BIG brother by the time his sister arrived, and I really believe this book helped with that. It points out all the great thing tha big kids can do that babies cannot. It also show the care and attention a baby will require, at the same time showing how both the baby and big sibling are special. Even after the birth of my daughter I continued to recite the book, when my son would want her to eat play ect, I would say "the baby is to little to walk, to little to talk to little to play with toys, to little to eat pizza and apples and ice cream. " this would satisfy him, and he'd move on. I would certainly buy/recommend this book to anyone exspecting another child.
