and Oliver are siblings and experts on new babies, because their mom just had
one! This handy 'how-to' book is aimed at helping other kids out when they are
getting a new baby in their home. They go over the waiting for baby to arrive,
diapering, holding the baby, and all sorts of other great stuff. By the end,
they explain that eventually the baby won't seem new at all--just another
member of the family!
This is a fantastic book in its approach to a new baby.
The narrators and illustrations are incredibly personable and approachable. The
text is written in a way that kids will really connect with, and the topics
covered seem to hit all the bases that older kids would want to know about. I
think this book will be a big hit with parents and kids who are trying to
prepare for the changes that come with a new baby.
