5 out of 5 stars Great Present for New Big Sisters   November 19, 2008
We bought this book for my daughter when I was pregnant for her little sister. She absolutely adored the book and wanted to read it over and over again every single night. I've since bought this or the other book, "I'm a Big Brother Now" for any new big sisters or brothers we know. It's always been extremely well received by both child and parent.


4 out of 5 stars This book is a great way to get the converation going   October 16, 2008
I was well pleased with this book. It's a great way to introduce new things that will come along with a new baby. It covered those things (more of the positive than the negative) that the big sister will face in a very simple and brief way. I know some disagreed with the baby drinking from a bottle instead talking about breastfeeding and other things that they would do differently than what the book laid out. But to me, that's ok. Just talk about the way your family will do things. This book isn't going to be the ONLY way that you will teach your daughter about your growing family. Think of it as a supplement, a way to get the conversation going and the questions asked. And, if you are concerned about some of the less pleasant changes that may come, there are other books that discuss those topics. I plan to look into those kinds of books as I see those issues arise.


5 out of 5 stars Great, Positive Book to Prepare a Toddler for a Baby   September 12, 2008
We received this book as a gift, and it is the best "baby on the way" book we have read. My daughter (almost 3) loves it, asks for it all the time, and has pretty much memorized it now.

My friend's little girl who is the same age, and also expecting a little brother, loves it too.

It's nice how it emphasizes how the big sister can help, and how she is still special to mommy and daddy.

Simple enough for a very small child to understand, and very positive. I just wish it showed breastfeeding as well as a bottle.



4 out of 5 stars "I'm a Big Sister"   September 1, 2008
This book was smaller in size than I thought it would be, but other than that, what I expected.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent book - my daughter still likes it 2 years later   July 11, 2008
I bought this for my 17 month old toddler and she loved it and read it before and after the baby was born. I suggest this book to everyone I know who is having another child. My daughter still likes to read this book and my son is now 2 years old.
