Format:Paperback
This is another cute book for tots who are going to become big brothers or sisters, my two year old daughter loves it. Its based around a family called 'The Bunns' who are having a new baby. I read a review that said it was a little old fashioned, which for some it might be, it refers to the mum and dad as Mr & Mrs Bunn and its a very 'traditional' set up eg. Mum, Dad, 2.4 kids and a dog. For me this was fine as this is what my family make up is so it suited well. Its short and sweet and has the classic Usbourne trade mark of a little Yellow duck somewhere on each page, which my tot loves - she knows where every single one is! A good all rounder if you ask me!

This book goes into just enough detail to explain what will happend, from mum going into hospital, visiting after baby's born and being at home. It was brilliant for my 3yr old especially the lovely pictures

I bought this for my 3 year old when I was about 6 months pregnant, and he goes in fits and starts of reading it. I found it useful for familiarising him of what was going to happen, eg nanny and grandad coming to look after the children when mummy went into hospital, getting the nursery ready, mummy in the hospital with the other mummies etc. I haven't given it the full 5 stars as I think maybe it was a little bit too young for him, for example he asked me the other day how the baby was going to come out of my tummy! Also I think that some more story after the baby was born would have been useful, for example im sure it will come as a shock how much babies cry!
