I loved this book, as did my three year old. As I am currently pregnant with my second child, we were looking for familiar characters that could help us introduce the concept of a newborn to my daughter. We were also hoping the whole, "baby being born" process would be covered. Both of these things were.Daniel's parents explain they are having a baby, and Daniel helps get the baby's room ready. Then Daniel's parents go to Dr. Anna's so she can help the baby be born while Daniel stays with Grandpere Tiger. All very realistic, but in a kid friendly format. Mr. McFeely comes to tell Daniel and Grandpere Tiger that the baby is here, and then Daniel and Grandpere go to visit Mom and Dad and Dr. Anna's. Daniel takes the baby a present and greatly enjoys meeting his new sister - putting something that might be intimidating to small children in a positive light. It becomes very obvious that the new baby cries a lot and is very needy, something even my three year old now tell me all about. They try feeding, rocking, changing her diaper, and over time even Mom Tiger admits she can't always tell what's wrong. Daniel gets to help soothe the baby, making him very proud of himself.I thought this was a realistic representation of how a new baby changes things in the family, and the process. My daughter has now been through it several times with Daniel, and I hope this makes it less scary for her. There are also two episodes of the show (season 5, episodes 1 and 2 - it's on Prime!) that cover the same material as the book. We have watched these a few times together and talked about them. The next two episodes (season 5, episodes 3 and 4) cover how life is different after baby Margaret is born. We haven't tackled these yet, but will soon.
