What to Expect When the New Baby Comes Home

This book along with what to expect when Mommy's having a baby, are wonderful tools for any older child. I ordered both and am very happy with them. It answered my daughter's questions, and gave me some ideas on how to help her feel involved.

What to Expect When the New Baby Comes Home is a fun book for children who are going to become brothers and sisters. Every other page has a question that a child my have regarding a new baby. Some examples are: "Why do New Babies Cry So Much?" and, "Can I Play with the New Baby?" Angus, the Answer Dog helps to answer these questions. He also puts a paw print on pages throughout the book. Next to these paw prints are suggestions for activities a child could do that are related to the question. Examples of these are: "Think of your favorite thing to do during quiet time when baby is sleeping," and "practice burping a doll or stuffed animal." I like this book and would highly recommend it for children ages 3-8.

My daughter is 8 and she loved the book. Though it is simple, it is well written and fun to read. She loved the pictures too.

My son *made* me read this to him over & over before his baby sister was born. It encouraged him to help out and helped me explain what would be different once the baby was here. Also included things to explain to him that I never would have thought of. Thumbs up!
