I'm looking for suggestions of books that are aimed at learning about new babies, becoming an older sibling, etc. The Toddler Dudes are . . . shall we say . . . reluctant readers at best, so if anyone recommendations for ones that are particularly catchy, interactive, etc., that would be great, too. They're only 15 months, so things like Bernstein Bears-type books are a little ahead of where they're at right now.

we bought this big brother book for our baby announcement but it turns out LO looooved it.
"i'm a big brother" by joanna cole.
-
We have the "I'm a big sister" version by Joanna Cole. We really liked it!
-
I ordered a $2 board book on amazon, "my new baby" and it is hands down the most read book in our house. She is obsessed!!
-
@sorrycharlie: @Mrs. High Heels: @jmarionsmith: Just ordered the Big Brother and the New Baby books. Thanks!
-
I bought these for my godson. I heard he really liked the dinosaur one, but he was already in pre-school at the time.

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.

@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.
-
@SugarplumsMom: That dinosaur one sounds cute!
@Mamasig: Yeah, I need to talk to them more about it. It just seems so futile because I don't even think they know what a "baby" is.
-
We have the sister version of Joanna Cole's book, and it's a hit. I hope your boys like it!
-
We love "my new baby". It's a lot more positive than other books about siblings, IMO.

We have an older version of Joanna Cole's Big Sister book. ***I am NOT pregnant*** LO loooooves it and reads it all the time.
-
Another vote for Joanna Cole. @bpcmarj: we also read it everyday and I'm not pregnant
it's one her of faves!!
-
@pinkcupcake: P calls it her "fun be book!!" Because of the line "it's fun to be big!".
-
@bpcmarj: hahaha cute! Mine loves to talk about how she's a big girl who can eat "pizza, appies, and ice cream"

This isn't a book, but Cup of Jo had an interesting post today on ways to help older siblings adjust to a new baby...
