A baby sister is on the way! Older siblings will love this board book primer on how to receive their new addition.A baby sister is joining the family! That’s great news, but older siblings may be a bit uncertain. Fortunately for them, this rhyming board book addresses what to expect: “Your sister will drool. She will smell. She will scream. She just might pull your hair. She’ll do things that seem mean.” The text, accompanied by irresistible art from renowned illustrator Sam Williams, also explains how older kids can be role models to their new little sister: “You can be her first teacher. Show her things that you know. Give her patience and love, she’s just starting to grow.” At the back of the book, there’s even designated space for older siblings to write about their new baby sister. This book is a great gift for the new big brother or big sister to be! And a great gift for parents, too!Sam Williams’s Baby Cakes has sold more than 65,000 copies!

The illustrations and construction quality of this book is excellent, but I'm not thrilled with the gist of the content. Until the last two pages, the book describes how the older sibling will have to tolerate all the annoying realities of the new baby. I suppose the description is realistic, and perhaps necessary.I would not want this to be the first or only book to read to a soon-to-be big sibling, especially if s/he is already upset about a new baby on the way. On the flip side, if the older sibling is unrealistically excited about having a new best friend to play with, this might be the best book to start with.I just talked myself into upping my rating to 4 stars. Just be aware of how this book will play into the attitude of your new older child.
I would have returned this book if it didn't cost almost as much as we spent on it to do so. The message in this book is EXTREMELY negative. It spends a LOT of time talking about the bad parts about having a sibling (like, she'll steal your toys and pull your hair), and, in my opinion, not nearly enough time focusing on the good parts, or even just generic facts, about having a sibling.
By far the BEST sibling book I've found! I really like in this book that it brings some honesty to what it'll be like when baby is here. For example it says "When mom is feeding the baby you'll just have to wait" and says "She'll want you to share even things that are new, and not just your toys but the ones you love too". It talks about the good things too though! It's a very sweet book and a great read for toddlers-young kids. My two-year-old son just loves it!
Our baby sister hasn't arrived yet, but we have been reading this book in preparation and my son really enjoys it. It makes me a little sad at the part of "when mom's feeding the baby, you'll just have to wait", but I guess that is soon going to be our reality.
This is my favorite baby shower gift for welcoming a 2nd child. They also make a baby brother book that is just as good. I love that these books show different sibling sets (big brother and big sister) and skin colors. The illustrations are my favorite but the text is just as sweet. I get a lot of compliments when I gift this book to friends. The board book is also really well made and will hold up to many readings!
This is a great book to get your child ready for a sibling, and I especially like the fact that one of the pages shows the Mom nursing the baby, rather than giving it a bottle. Another nice touch is that each page features children of different races, so no one will feel left out reading this book.
This book is perfect for toddlers to understand that a new little sister is coming. It tells the real life things that are going to happen. It has both big brother and big sister relationships in this book. Perfect for what I was looking for, for my son.
A sweet little book. I got the brother one when my second was born, and this one for my most recent baby. It explores the not-so-fun parts of a new baby but in a gentle and understanding way. It was a great way to prepare the older ones.
