Please can anyone recommend any book for my daughter, who is just 2. I am having baby no 2 soon (don't know if it's going to be a brother or sister) and am trying to get her used to the idea! We've got out "Spot's Baby Sister" from the library which is ok but could do with something a little more specific. Only other book I've seen is called "There's a house inside my mummy" or something but that seemed a bit grownup for her.

Any suggestions appreciated!

Thanks very much.

The one my son liked best was Annie Kubler's My New Baby - no words, just gorgeous bright watercolours showing life with a new baby from a toddler's POV.

Za Za's baby brother went down well in this house. It talks about how Mummy and Daddy need to spend time looking after the baby but they still love the big brother Zebra!

My DD loved Annie Kubler's book too. We gave it to her about a month before DS arrived, and she now shows it to DS. I think it helped her to realise there would be times when I wouldn't be able to do things, like when I'm feeding DS.

For something a bit different when the baby has been born have a look at www.love2read.co.uk and look at the "This is ..." demo book.
