I'm working on a Christmas list for DS, who will be a big brother for the first time next spring, and I'd like to include some "big brother"/"older sibling" books. What do you have and love? Thanks in advance!

You were the First by Patricia MacLachlan
I cried reading this book with my oldest when I was pregnant with my second and I’m not a sappy person.Hello in There by Jo Witek
We loved this book because it helped my daughter grasp waiting on little brother. It’s hard for a 3.5 year old to wait 9 months!The Daniel Tiger big brother book was also good too.

I liked Waiting for Baby by Rachel Fuller, it talks about things that happen during the pregnancy (painting a nursery, mom going to the doctor) as opposed to things that happen once the baby arrives.
We also got B a baby Corelle doll and a stroller for Christmas before W arrived, kind of a "practice baby".

We have really liked Mail Harry to the Moon. It deals with learning to share with a new sibling and it's been really important for us to deal with those feelings...

@misolee: These sound great! I'll add them to my list. Daniel Tiger is big around here - I need to find our big brother books that we got in a multi-pack!
@erinbaderin: Love the idea of a baby doll! I know we'll need to practice "gentle hands"...
@maddyz: This sounds like a great choice!
Thanks everyone!
