Good book for toddler when mum is expecting

[JordieC]

I've been told there are a few books out there on the subject. We would like to read Mackenzie a book about the new baby in the next few weeks just to help her prepare a little. Of course I don't expect her to understand fully but it might be a nice way to ease into it all. Any ideas on book titles?

I love the book "There's a house inside my mummy" - Giles Andreae & Vanessa Cabban

It is a rhyming book, My little girl just loves it...we still read it now.

I can almost recite it just sitting here!!!

I've been told the ABA has a book out that has pics but no words, that way you make the story up to suit you. If you know sex of bubs you can refer to it etc & you can tell the story in a way your child might understand for their age.

Julia got given "When I was a baby" by Deborah Niland, its so cute and gorgeous describing when they were a baby what they do and now they are a big boy/girl what the differences are! Julia still reads it a year later and its one of her favourites!

We have a few here, but the one that still gets read a lot by my toddler is "Mummy Mummy what's in your tummy?". It is a lift the flaps book as well which adds to the appeal sometimes.

We had a book called What To Expect When Mummy's Expecting. It ws the only one I could find at the time.

I'm a Big Sister is a good one as it explains that mummy & daddy still love her and that she is still special but she is even more special now as she is also a big sister.
