Review # 1 was written on 2013-02-19 00:00:00 Mag. Patricia Chmelarova Reproduction -- Juvenile literature. A small boy feels the baby kick inside his mother's tummy, hears the baby's heartbeat during a visit to the doctor, and finally gets to say hello in person after the baby is born. Narrating the story himself, the boy shares what fascinates him: how the baby grows inside the womb, unpacking his old baby clothes, and hearing about the day he was born. When the baby arrives home at last, the boy tells how she eats and sleeps and cries, and how it takes a mother, a father,anda new big brother to make this baby feel at home. Told in simple words and charming pictures, this book lets children know just what to expect when Mom's expecting. Note: Cataloged as a picture book. This item gives very basic information. T=You can see inside mommy's tum, but she is fully dressed. It does include picture of the sperm and egg, as well as, how the baby grows during the 32 weeks of pregnancy. The story focuses on a new baby in the family.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-08-26 00:00:00 Kent Takano Sweet, informative book about a kid whose family is having another baby. I really liked the picture of baby in the womb and the chart showing the different stages of how the baby grows - helpful for conveying some sense of time to young children. Also, very sweet portrayal of how the older child prepares for baby's arrival and then helps comfort the new baby when she cries. I appreciated: - that this book didn't introduce the idea of jealousy; although it acknowledged that the new baby was a change, the older child's feelings were mostly positive - that the book showed (and talked about) breastfeeding - that the book included Dad as an involved caregiver This book might be a little wordy for younger toddlers, but was perfect for my 3 year old. As a side note, I noticed that, like in most other books on this topic, there is absolutely no explanation of *how* the baby gets out of the mom's body! Minor oversight...
