It's a lot more positive than other books about siblings, IMO. </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1846432766?pc_redir=1403984701&#038;robot_redir=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1846432766?pc_redir=1403984701&#038;robot_redir=1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-babybig-brothersister-book-recs#post-1732924 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 16:40:50 +0000 rattles 1732924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the sister version of Joanna Cole's book, and it's a hit.

It just seems so futile because I don't even think they know what a "baby" is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-babybig-brothersister-book-recs#post-1732681 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 14:51:52 +0000 sorrycharlie 1732681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: it's actually a huge board book. I was surprised for the price! And both big sibling and baby seem andrygonous lol. So it works. Mom also nurses in the book which I thought was neat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-babybig-brothersister-book-recs#post-1732673 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 14:47:36 +0000 Mamasig 1732673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't get any books but just would always talk about how he was getting a little brother soon. I didn't think it was sinking in because he never acknowledged what I said. Well, the baby came and he instantly was in love with his little brother. I guess he did understand me after all. I think talking about it helped a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-babybig-brothersister-book-recs#post-1732668 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 14:44:14 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1732668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought these for my godson. I heard he really liked the dinosaur one, but he was already in pre-school at the time.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0807546364/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0807546364/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0307126285/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0307126285/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-babybig-brothersister-book-recs#post-1732642 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 14:33:15 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1732642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: @Mrs. High Heels: @jmarionsmith: Just ordered the Big Brother and the New Baby books.

They're only 15 months, so things like Bernstein Bears-type books are a little ahead of where they're at right now. </p>
