New sibling books?

Hello!

I have a DS who just turned 2, I am due our second DC in May.

Can anyone recommend any good stories / books or even videos about getting a new baby brother or sister? I've seen the 'wonderly' books you can personalise which look ok. Are there any others? They don't have to be personal as could just be stories to give him the idea.

We've tried talking to him about it a bit and of course will continue to but his language isn't that good yet and I don't know how much he understands. However he is good with books, stories and some videos so I think this would be a useful way to plant some seeds.

Just want him to be a little bit prepared (as much as he can be at that age) and to know we still love him loads.

The trouble is this year with covid-19 restrictions we've had limited access to other families with brothers and sisters so he's missed out on learning that way I think.

The one my DS liked best was Topsy & Tim's New Baby although it's about a friend getting a new sibling.
Mits a shame the libraries aren't open as they usually have a selection.
