Book for older sibling of new twins?

I was looking on Amazon for a storybook to help my DD (2y8m) give up her dummy when I came across books to help new big sister/brothers get used to the idea of having a new baby in the house.
I'm only just 12 weeks so probably we won't be telling her for a while, but have any of you twin+ parents found any books where there are two new babies? It just seems such a huge difference I'm not sure I just want to say "oh of course you're going to have two babies at home..." every time!

When we found out we were having triplets we made one for our 3 year old son

Dora the explorer has baby twin siblings , there are some tv episodes and a few books .

Also Little Rabbit's big surprise - has triplets

Don't have the perfect answer but there's a book about getting one younger sibling that's really fun to read. Called something like "There's an ouch in my pouch" (about a wallaby).

Also a Peppa Pig episode where the 'children' are all coming up with names for an expected rabbit baby. Then mummy rabbit goes into hospital and has twins.

Thanks all, will have a look at these. I've pointed out Zoe zebras twin sisters in Peppa :-)

I went with "there's a house inside my mummy" and altered the words a bit. At 2 and a bit they won't notice.

And little rabbits big surprise. Although that caused a bit of confusion because we only had twins.
