Good books for arrival of sibling?

I am nearly 20 weeks pregnant and looking for some resources for helping my 2.5 year old with the arrival of a sibling. Hoping to tell her next week after 20 week scan as it is getting much more noticeable!

Does anyone have a recommendation?

Thanks very much

I brought this one for similar age DD - it's got flaps and bits to move and she seems to really enjoy it. Not due for a few more weeks so not sure if it actually helps though!

'There's a house inside my mummy' is a lovely one.

Another recommendation for "There's a house inside my mummy's tummy".

I found this was perfect for explaining it to my 2 year old (although I had to replace baby boy with baby girl when reading it to her as it's set up for a baby brother being born. Luckily 2 year olds can't read!)

I found there’s a house inside my mummy a bit creepy - “daddy says be patient as her door is rather tight” 😬. I like You Were The First (real tear jerker mind!) and the Usborne First Experiences one, also there’s a Campbell Books one with a mixed race family and some flaps to lift which is nice. Also pirate Pete/princess Polly one is ok.

Just realised the Campbell books one is the one recommended by a pp with the link - it’s great.
