Any suggestions for books to help prepare DS for new baby's arrival?

DS is 2.2 now and will be 2.5 when dc2 arrives.
Just wondering if anyone can suggest some good books that will help prepare him for his little sister's arrival?

Not a book but you can get teddys etc that have little brother to look after so he can learn through play as well, I think I saw them in an article on the inhabitots site.

We got these for DD, who has just turned 3 (DS due in two weeks)

Max and Millie and the New Baby www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/1409535118/ref=redir_mdp_mobile

Topsy and Tim and the New Baby (I like this one as it shows the mum BFing so we talked about how I BFed her and will BF her brother)
www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/1409300560

We also got 'I'm a big sister' and there's an 'I'm a big brother' version. I wasn't impressed but DD likes it!

DS was just 3 when DD arrived. He liked-

There is Going to Be a Baby - Helen Oxenbury (so sweet, made me cry in the library!)

Zsa Zsa's Little Brother - Lucy Cousins - Very good, t, much more £day to day" and carries on after the baby is born and the parents don't always have time for Zsa Zsa. There is an edition which comes with a DVD.

Going ok - muddling through anyway! DS1 is quite jealous and playing up but I guess that's normal, he asks when baby is going back to hospital! Wink
