My New Baby (All in a Day)

Although it had no words, our 1.5 year old twins loved pointing out and naming objects that they knew and of telling us what was happening. For example:
"poo" (baby getting nappy/diaper changed)
"wah, wah" (baby crying)
"shh" (baby sleeping)

We got a number of new baby books, some good some not. This is one that we'd recommend.

I bought several books to help introduce my daughter to the idea of a new baby. This and "waiting for baby" is our favorite!
there are no words, so you can make your own story and adpt to your particular sittuation. But the drawings are great, and very self-explanatory! We highly recommend it!

I found the lovely pictures in this book great, I sat down with my three year old and through the pictures we were able to discuss what would happen once his baby brother was born. A great way to prepare young children for a new baby. My 3 yr old loved it so much he'd look at the book in bed and fall asleep with his head in the book :)

I thought this book was fab. I loved the idea that it has no words but very detailed pictures. You can chose to discuss what you like with your child. Its great to see mum breast-feeding the newborn. A really good buy and very tastefully done.


perfect!   June 22, 2002

This book and the prequel "waiting for baby" are just right! It's good that the sex of the baby is ambiguous as I don't know what my new baby will be. My son has just turned 3 and I am due in 6 weeks. He understood what the scan was for as he saw one in the prequel book and he understands everything so far. That babies cry, wear nappies and best of all, that you breastfeed babies! More books should show that so soceity becomes more accepting! There are no words so it's a great interactive book so you can ask your little one what he/she thinks is happening. The only downside is if you have a daughter already as the sibling is a boy! The best thing is that the dad does lots around the house!! The mum is regularly seen with a cup of tea sitting down while dad does the dinner, as it should be!!
