Product Description
Review
The illustrations are bright and distinctive and the last double spread summarising the baby's development is most helpful and likely to encourage the young listeners to talk and question (Books for Keeps 20030801)
A clear, often witty, text combines perfectly with the pictures to make this a most original picture book. (Books For Keeps )
Contemporary wordplay for the text and a jaunty colour palette make this story about the development of a baby inside Rosy's mum appealing. (Nursery world )
An excellent book with an interesting and effective design. (Books For Keeps )
Uniquely fresh (Parents News )
A funny, colourful, and clever book that will provide perfect entertainment for young children. (Amazon )
The funny descriptions of both the developing baby and accounts of family life make it an excellent and informative book. (Family Interest Magazine )
A must for anyone expecting a second child (Angels and Urchins )
...light-hearted and amusing... (Writing Magazine )

A fabulous and very funny book to read to your toddler when you are expecting number 2 (or 3 in our case!). The adults will get it on another level but its a great way of introducing the idea of a sibling and explaining away the crazy things expectant mums do. My kids loved it.

Not necessarily for every family
13 Nov 2006
Format:Hardcover
This book, while I'm sure it is considered charming by some, is not necessarily right for every family. It certainly wasn't right for mine.
If you are trying to teach your children to use the correct names for parts of the body rather than slang terms--this is probably not the book for you. If you don't think that it is appropriate for children to notice or comment on (let alone joke about) the size of their mother's undergarments--this is definitely not the book for you.
I don't usually consider myself stodgy, but I thought the way Baby on Board handled the issues it discussed was totally over-the-top and inappropriate.

Cute book for sibling-to-be
12 Sep 2005
Format:Hardcover
I wasn't sure what to think of this book, it's a little tounge-in-cheek, but my 3 year old ADORES it! She laughs at the pictures and the silly commentary. She has asked me to read it over and over. I think it is helping her come to grips with the arrival of her new baby sister, and to understand what is happening to me, her mommy. Cute pictures, fast read - we checked it out from the library and then had to go buy it!
Not to exciting

I wasn't impressed with this book at all. Illustrations were poor and so was the story line. It didn't really give my son a feel for what was going to happen. The only plus was it did show the mommy's tummy growing and growing and eventually there was a baby. But it didn't really touch on how the other child felt or how anyone felt really.
