I'm a Big Sister Hardcover – Picture Book, January 5, 2010

The best thing about this book is that it draws a line between what a baby can do and what a big sister can do. Like, the big sister can eat cookies, but the baby only likes milk. It explains what to expect to the older sibling. My two year old granddaughter likes to have it read over and over!

This book goes to my great granddaughter who is going to be a big sister to a new baby brother, delightful way to introduce her to her new sibling!

Such a cute book, I bought this for my daughter when we told her she was going to be a big sister. It’s the perfect way to get them used to another sibling coming along, she loves reading this book. We also incorporated this when we were telling our family we were pregnant, we had our daughter go up to them and ask them to read her new book.

Love love love

We recently purchased this children's book to help prepare our daughter for the arrival of her new baby sister. And I'm thrilled to say that it has been a huge success! The book is beautifully illustrated and tells a sweet story about a big sister welcoming a new baby to the family.What I love most about this book is that it's designed to help children understand and process their feelings about the new addition to the family. It's perfect for our daughter, who is eager to learn about her new sibling and what it will be like to have a little sister.We've been able to point out pictures of Mama, Dad, and our daughter, and then say "and that's your new baby sister!" It's been such a wonderful way to connect our daughter with her new sibling and help her feel more excited about the arrival.Our daughter absolutely loves this book and has asked to read it multiple times a day. It's clear that she's really enjoying the story and is starting to grasp the concept of having a new sibling. We're so pleased with this book and highly recommend it to any family expecting a new baby.

Good book, and as one reviewer stated, I had expectations of a larger book. I should have read the size better, so that is on me. I would have liked a larger book and better page quality. Other than that, the message behind the book is well written for big sister.

This was the perfect gift for my 3 year old granddaughter when her baby brother was born. It covers all the bases for her on what to expect, how to be helpful, and for her to understand how loved she and the new baby are! It truly has helped her during the adjustment period of her family growing.

With a child under two, it's hard to know how much she is really understanding about the whole process of expecting a baby and what's about to happen.One great sign is how well our daughter is responding to this book. She just LOVES it, and devours it, making the sign for "more" each time we finish it and flipping it over for another reading. I mean, she loves books in general but this is a big response -- I swear she asked for five reads the other night.For one thing, I think she really likes the pictures, which are full of details about being a toddler. She points out that the big sister is eating apples, like she does. The big sister takes pride in being a helper, like she does. A sippy cup is shown next to the baby's bottle -- those are the kind of things a young toddler can relate to. The mom is shown folding laundry, definitely something she can relate to!The language is also simple and easy for her to understand. It uses repetition and key words that toddlers know & love like help, and diaper, and bottle, and toys and favorite foods. I like the little lessons, like how there is mention of the baby crying and what to do about it. And how being big is a lot of fun.Another note about her age -- it's sweet & touching to watch her choose which character she relates to more, because she is in between the baby and the big sister in the book (who I'd put at 3 or 4). Sometimes on pages that show the whole family, I've asked her "which one are you?" and she points to the baby. Sometimes, the big sister. I tell her she's right either way, like, "You will always be my baby! And we're going to have a new baby too!" or "Yes, you are becoming such a big girl and you will be a Big Sister too!"I feel like we can & will refer to this book once the baby is here, and it will help her adjust.
