Format:Hardcover
Beautiful tone and illustration to it, with language and ideas that my son of 2.5 took to the first time we read it. Our second is due two months after the purchase of this book and I believe it's helping him to understand what it means once the bump becomes the baby. He understands there's a baby on the way, but at this age they don't understand how life will change for them to have an additional person their parents have to look after.
This book shows big brothers they can do things they baby can't do (in a nice way so they can appreciate how much fun they can that the baby can't yet), they can help look after the baby and that Mummy & Daddy love them just as much as they ever did. I have to admit, I had to fight a tear the first time I read it to my son as we got to the end (perhaps the hormones?!). So lovely.
As previous reviews mentioned, being an American book it does refer to 'diaper', but it's the only Americanism and the illustrations are just as relevant to the UK market. I just say 'nappy' instead.

Rather annoyingly, this is written in American English - diaper, mom, etc, etc, so not really useful or relevent for a British English speaking 2 year-old.

The writing style is not really suited for a 2yr old. Also personally i think a few important points have been left out regarding what a new baby will be doing when it arrives. However my 2 yr old has enjoyed looking at the pictures and as he looks like the boy in the book this has really helped him to relate. I don t read all the words and I change some to suit us so it works. As mentioned in my title a bit long winded but you can edit.

I'm a Big Brother
I bought this for my 3 1/2 year old grandson and he seemed interested in it when I read it to him, although I think there could have been more content in it to keep his interest.

LOVELY BOOK
I bought this for a friends little one after she had given birth. He loved his gift and obviously it was meaningful to his situation. Illustrations and story very good.
