Big Sister - By: B. Gibson, 11 Jun 2008 Like a previous reviewer I have been surprised at how much my 17 month old enjoys this book. We have now had it for 3 weeks & at the moment it is her favourite book. She too makes the appropriate "crying" noises. To be honest I was surprised at how well she took to it as I thought it may be a bit old for her but she loves it & is already talking to the "baby" in Mommy's tummy (due in ten weeks.) As mentioned it would be good if the baby was seen to be breastfed as well.
A brilliant buy - By: Mrs. R. Murray, 01 Mar 2008 My daughter (who was 19 months when my baby was born) wasn't that interested in this book until she actuallly became a big sister. It's now her favourite book & we have to read it almost every night. It's a brilliant way of talking about what new babies do. Although there are some Americanisms we just change these as we are reading. I'm going to buy this & the brother version for my friends who are pregnant!
Great book for a toddler who's about to become a big sister - By: D. Malcolm, 12 Feb 2008 I brought this book for my daughter who has just turned 2 & she loves it.
It looks at many aspects of being a big sister & has lovely colourful pictures & reallly positive language.
The only thing that could have made it better for me, is to have show a baby being breastfed as this is what babies spend a lot of time doing. However on the whole the book is great & suitable for any little girl who is about to become a big sister.
Th last page is lovely "mummy loves me, Daddy loves me, I am special to them. I'm the only me in the whole world!
Great Book aimed at just the right level - By: P. McIntyre, 08 Jan 2006 
I read this to my daughter before our son was born & she loved it. It reallly helped her understand why the baby would cry & for the first few days he was home she would say he was trying to tell us something when he cried. She even quotes from it now, & he is 4 months old. So it reallly had a lasting impression on her. Yes it does assume alll babies are bottle fed, but this is fine as it doesn't even occur to children to question it & since the vast majority of children are bottle fed this is fine I think.
