“… no one can complain about the positive message it conveys, appropriately, to its baby and toddler audience.”—Kirkus Reviews

A wonderful book to share with toddlers and young children.

The pictures are colourful and the text offers questions that promote conversation, which allow the emotions of having a new baby to be explored. A lovely book to share one-to-one with your child - perfect for both early years settings and parents alike.—Nursery Education Plus - Debra Barton

“These four books in the New Baby series are just right for toddlers awaiting and adjusting to the birth of a new sibling.

The writing is clear, conversational, and full of common situations.”—School Library Journal
