    Books aimed at young children re: pregnancy, siblings etc.

    I had a quick look in BB store and hello baby looks good but more about homebirth, which at this point is uncertain.

    What books have you used to convey pregnancy, growing babies, new babies and siblings to your little ones?

    We aren't announcing yet, and would like to 'tell' DS first! He will be 3.5y when baby comes!

    I just posted in a thread about this recently. There are a few good suggestions in it worth checking out.

    And this one from last year

    Oh, and congratulations!!

    I really loved reading to DD1 and talking about the baby coming. It is such a lovely way to gently bring them in to the concept of a sibling.

    DS is 3 and a half and loving "There is a house inside my mummy' too! It is cute with a rhyming text and quite easy to make subtle changes as you read it. We read it as "I cannot wait to meet them" etc instead of him/her because we are having twins. DS loves the story and he actually understands it really well. His fav bit is the picture of the mummy asleep on the couch - "Look, it's you Mum!"
