hiya's

can anyone recommend any good books for the under 2 age group that you can read to them about new additions to families and / or becoming a big brother, being that he's really young and really has no idea i thought maybe i could introduce books appropriate to me having another baby. any ideas would be great!

cheers G

"There's A House Inside My Mummy" is great. I read it to DS#1 when he was waiting on being a big brother, he was under 2 at the time. Now I am reading it to DS#1 and DS#2 again... DS#2 is a little bit older then your DS but he just loves it, they both do.

I went to the library and asked them to suggest some books about becoming a big brother ect. They found a few really good ones that were age appropriate - but I can't remember any names lol. Maybe you could ask at your local library.
There was a book that my SIL bought for Travis when Ricky was born- it was called "It's not fair" and was really good to read after bub was born when he started to feel a little jelous because it outlined all the great things that big brothers could do and how little babies whern't really allowed to do anything - It made him feel really big and special. If you are interested in the author of that one let me know and i can find it in the huge bookshelf they have lol.

I have heard about this one. I used 'A New Baby' and also bought a copy for my friend who was also pregnant at the same time with an almost 2 yr old. It worked wonders

I unfortunately can't think of the name of the book...however I borrowed a great book off my best friend to try and explain to DP's son about me being preggies with DD...over 18 months ago (DD is now 16 months). However, the book was actually a picture book with no words. It was up to us to make up a story to go along with the pictures. Both my best friend and I have both found this book good to explain what is happening to us and that the boys would be / have now become big brothers.
