Review: Gift - Perfect for older sisters
Review: Fills in the pregnancy part of that many other "big sister/brother" books completely omit - Our absolute favorite big sibling board books are from Rachel Fuller's "New Baby" set (a total of 4 books, we currently have 2; "Waiting for Baby" and "My New Baby"), as they are better aligned with our "crunchy" parenting style, "My New Baby" includes breastfeeding and babywearing in a tasteful way that treats nursing as normal, and the mom in the pictures doesn't "whip it out", as some breastfeeding critics might say. I really appreciate that Fuller's "Waiting for Baby" incorporates going to prenatal appointments and ultrasounds with Mom, and toddler and Dad fixing up dinner while tired, heavily pregnant Mom is resting, an all too common sight at our house since I've had numerous health issues throughout my pregnancy, and require frequent rest, so Daddy being shown participating in the preparation for baby is greatly appreciated. EDIT for fall 2017. Big sister adjusted to her brother very well in July 2016. The only thing she didn't quite grasp from the get go, was that a baby doesn't start off as a fully fledged toddler playmate, but we didn't notice any behavior that could be described as sibling jealousy. We've gone from one big sibling to be to two kids and a third on the way, and we still love the now full set of all 4 books. I catch big sister and her brother reading these together, with the three year old "narrating" what's going on in the pictures, and the one year old middle child to be brings me this book to read quite frequently. It helps a lot to have a means of illustrating rather abstract concepts to the kids. Our now 15 month old is a little too young to understand everything he sees and hears, and I expect to see some sibling jealousy and confusion when we bring home a new baby in the coming couple of weeks, but we are hoping the illustrations will still help with the transition, as they helped his 24 month old sister when he was born.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exactly what I wanted
*by M***I on April 5, 2019*

I read a few negative reviews about the words before I bought it and I see what they mean but I personally liked it. It doesn't follow a story line like most books but it seems to be questions from the child's point of view. Each line is something a child might think or say so it makes for great conversation starters with your little one. The pictures are brightly illustrated and very cute. My 2 yr old son would point to the mama's belly or the baby clothes (everything really) and ask questions. I feel like it got him thinking about the process and what it means which is exactly what i wanted. I thought the book was very well done.
