Favorite of 2-yr-old big sister

Our daughter was given this book a few months before her baby sister arrived. She liked it alot pre-sis and still requests it now that li'l sis is here. Upon receiving it, I didn't think much of it (not a "cool", super-aesthetically pleasing cover), but my daughter really liked it. The book always refers to "our baby" so that it works expecting boy or girl. I really appreciated the intro to what baby will be like - my daughter thus was able to enthusiastically spout some facts (slightly altered/added by us) about baby before she arrived - "Baby cry alot. Baby poop alot. Baby sleep in crib." As for the book baby being bottle-fed, I just told our daughter that our baby would nurse (fortunately we had friends that were nursing so she could see what it was versus me explaining it ;). Overall - I'm ordering the book for my sister-in-law who's expecting her second.

Good for families who are adopting

My husband and I are adopting a baby boy. I have been trying to find a 'Big Sister' book for our daughter, but so many of them are about mom being pregnant and giving birth to the new sibling. This book is the only one I have seen that is suitable for both situations (adoption or giving birth). The story itself is simple, but very sweet and reassuring for the older child. My daughter absolutely loves it.

My daughter loves this book

I have a 21 month old daughter and am expecting another girl in 7 weeks. I purchased this book a month or two ago and my daughter enjoys reading it at least once a day. I don't think she "gets" the idea of a new baby coming to stay - but this has been a good introduction to the idea and she is now talking about her baby sister a lot.

Reassuring for big sister

My son had the big brother book when I was expecting my 2nd child. The big sister book is the same except obviously geared for girls. Both gently reassure the oldest child that while there are inherent changes with adding a baby to the house, some things never change.

I recommened this book to anyone expecting a second child.
