The other two books in this series were great for helping prepare our son for baby sister. This one makes having a sibling seem negative, so we only read it to him twice, then to it off the shelf.

My son and I read this series together, and it was his first experience reading a series. The characters are loveable, great cliff-hangers at the end of the first three books and an ending with an overall good feeling. My son is six years old, and we're now looking for another series to read. The comic book/graphic novel style of these books was a really fun way to transition from picture books to chapter books. It really held his interest and gave him some invaluable reading practice, as well as quality time between us. Great read. Enjoy!

This and other books in this series are really great and useful, even for the parents' education.  The books are very well orgranized and very informative.  Strongly suggest for educating children.  It is great to have these publications to enhance the education of the children.

I got this book for my two year old to get him ready for the new baby.  I also got the other book by the same author about pregnancy.  We really liked them a lot and I felt like they helped.  There are no words so we would look at each page and talk about what was going on and sort of make our own story.  I liked them so much I actually bought them for a few other friends as gifts when they got pregnant.

Great book to give to a kiddo who'll soon become a big sister/brother.

Joanna Cole has done it again!  Filled with colorful, eye-catching pictures, this book will keep your son's attention and help prepare him for the baby on the way.  I am 7 months pregnant with our second child, and have begun reading this to my 2-year-old to help prepare him to be a big brother.  I like the fact that this book is geared to him, and helps introduce him to the concept of "brother" and "sister."  Simply written, this book employs large text and basic sentences to hold even the youngest toddler's attention.  As usual, Cole provides factual, accurate information, without going into too much detail.  The book shows a breastfeeding mom, yet informs children that the new baby may get its milk from either Mommy's breast or from a bottle.  I like the fact that the mom is shown nursing the baby, yet the content is not graphic in any way.  At the same time, it doesn't alienate families who will be bottle feeding.  An excellent choice for your growing family!!

I was well into the third one of these little books with my 3 year old niece before I realized that she wasn't actually reading all of the words.  The patterns of language and the illustrations are so clear, that she was "reading" along with the text without knowing a lot of the words.  She's now learning to read with these, and basically reading about as well as her brother, who is in kindergarten.

My 2 year old daughter really likes this book and learning about her new baby brother coming.  It helps that she is blond, like the child in the book.  I really like the variety of things they do together.

I have read the first two "What to Expect..." books (When You're Expecting, and The First Year). I really loved the phase-based style and down-to-earth tone of those books, so of course I bought this one. In this book, I love the information as always, but I find it a little harder to read because I'm used to seeing each month or phase in succession, and this book treats the whole 2nd year like a general phase... sort of like going from baby to toddler clothing. :) I'm now jumping around a lot in the book to find topics that are currently of interest, whereas the previous books seemed to already "know" what those topics and questions were for each phase. It's not bad really, just... different.

This whole series of books are fantastic. We are foster parents and they are the same ones that our toddlers' therapist uses with them. I love that we can have a set to reinforce what she's teaching them in the way they are familiar with!

As a hospital Sibling Preparation instuctor I would like to say thank you to author Brenda Bercun.  This book addresses the important issues involved when a child learns s/he is going have a new brother or sister.  It helps prepare the child emotionally for the upcoming event. It discusses what will be the same and what will be different during pregnancy, hospitalization, and in the family.  It outlines what the important role of the sibling is.  The book includes a useful and fun CD to sing and dance to.  This book may be used for all ages of siblings, divided into smaller portions or read as a whole. It allows you the parent to help your child know what to expect so s/he may feel positive and powerful in the new role as a Big Brother or Big Sister.  Buy the book during pregnancy and enjoy! I love it.  Thank you Brenda Bercun

I bought the first three books of this series.  The books were so good every kid in the family read it, including the 16yr old.  I don't know if it was the easy reading or the unique storyline that taught a lesson without getting in you face, but the book is barely two weeks old and it looks like its been rread a hundred times.  This wasn't the best of the three, but it was still a great book for the kids and a great deal.  I have already ordered the last two books!

We were the typical parents who had a portable DVD player (or use of our cell  phones) to entertain our 4 and 5 year-olds when at restaurants.  With an airline tip and cruise, we knew that the cell phones weren't going to be option.  We purchased the book to keep the kids busy.  They really enjoyed the book series.  After vacation, they opted to continue with the books activities instead of playing games on the phone.  When going to restaurants, the

I gave the book 4 stars because the projects will need supplies beyond the simple pencil and crayon.  We ended up putting together a plastic bag with glue stick, tape, scissors, straws, etc.

This is a really cute book and is helping my grand daughter understand that she is going to have a sister. She loves the book and wants her Mom to read it to her several times a day. Highly recommend to anyone getting ready to have another baby.

My son loved the bright pictures in this book. Mom and dad liked that it really helped us develop a foundation for explaining to him about his new sister arriving! A must for parents expecting second baby.
