I'm a Big Brother!

Described as “like new”, but spine broken and pages ripped and taped up, many not even taped up. Absolutely not like new. Very disappointed.

I don't write reviews often. Thought I should share. This book is perfect!! My 3 yr old still loves it and quotes it often when playing with baby sister. It's everything you need to prepare your little one for the new baby ahead. It think it really helps explain how it's going to be at home. And I think, because of this book, my son is looking forward to sister crawling and "playing" with him! This is a great book and I highly recommend it!

My friend gave this book to my then 2-year old. He immediately took to the book, as the activities that Big Brother Luke wanted to do with Baby are exactly the kinds of activities that my son liked (playing with trains and airplanes, going to the park, etc.). There are nice examples of how excited Luke is about Baby that any Big Brother could relate to ("Is baby ever going to be big enough to play with me?"), as well as examples of Baby's development ("All Baby seemed to do was sleep or cry or eat, or need a clean diaper.") and how Big Brother can help Baby ("A Big Brother can show Baby all sorts of things."). It gave our family lots of great ideas about the changes ahead of us. Our son loves his baby sister and now refers to himself as the big brother in the book and the baby as his sister when we read the book together. We received a few big brother/sibling books but this is by far our family's favorite! Even though we were told the gender of our baby at our ultrasound, I still loved that it was gender-neutral since I kept being warned that sometimes there are still surprises...

Even though my son is still young, we wanted to start introducing the fact that he was going to be a big brother. I was impressed with this book once i read the first few pages. The best part about this book was that it referred to the new baby as "baby," and this is exactly what i wanted since right now I do not know the sex of the new baby. It also demonstrates how the baby will grow, from sleeping all the time to learning to sit up, and finally to the point where the new baby can play with his big brother. My family greatly enjoys this book.
