My friend gave this book to my then 2-year old. He immediately took to the book, as the activities that Big Brother Luke wanted to do with Baby are exactly the kinds of activities that my son liked (playing with trains and airplanes, going to the park, etc.). There are nice examples of how excited Luke is about Baby that any Big Brother could relate to ("Is baby ever going to be big enough to play with me?"), as well as examples of Baby's development ("All Baby seemed to do was sleep or cry or eat, or need a clean diaper.") and how Big Brother can help Baby ("A Big Brother can show Baby all sorts of things."). It gave our family lots of great ideas about the changes ahead of us. Our son loves his baby sister and now refers to himself as the big brother in the book and the baby as his sister when we read the book together. We received a few big brother/sibling books but this is by far our family's favorite! Even though we were told the gender of our baby at our ultrasound, I still loved that it was gender-neutral since I kept being warned that sometimes there are still surprises...
Loved this book. I researched many big brother books… And this seemed to be the best one. Was perfect for my son when my daughter was born. Other books had moms bottlefeeding and that made it confusing for him. He wanted to know why he could not help bottle-feed his sister. We breast-feed her so this book was perfect in that regard… as it showed the mom breast-feeding her baby. Cute book.
This *really* helped prepare my older son for sharing his toys. The first time we read it, he was in tears that the baby had taken Luke's train engine. Just recently, I overheard him explaining to a friend who was upset her baby sister had grabbed a toy that her baby sister was just trying to tell her she's ready to play (straight from the book). I highly recommend this book! My kids are 2.5 years apart.
The best part about this book is that the baby is only ever referred to as "baby". So I bought this book for a friend who is expecting...and she doesn't know what she is having. I personally own "I'm a Big Sister" by the same author. These books are wonderfully written and illustrated - LOVED by any child that reads them. My daughter learned about being a big sister from the "sister" book and was soooo excited when the baby arrived. Since we didn't know the gender of our baby either, this book was the perfect introduction for our expanding family. Purchase either book and you won't be disappointed!
Heard this was a great book for kids when another sibling is in the picture. Felt like this book taught our son the basics of taking care of our new little one as well as understand that he's loved even more than before. To me, I think it's essential that parents get a book like this for a son who's expecting to be an older brother.
Even though my son is still young, we wanted to start introducing the fact that he was going to be a big brother. I was impressed with this book once i read the first few pages. The best part about this book was that it referred to the new baby as "baby," and this is exactly what i wanted since right now I do not know the sex of the new baby. It also demonstrates how the baby will grow, from sleeping all the time to learning to sit up, and finally to the point where the new baby can play with his big brother. My family greatly enjoys this book.
Awesome book that helped prep my oldest for the arrival of his little brother. (22 months when the 2nd was born if you need age appropriateness, I think older boys would get even more out of it). It helped that I substituted the names in the book for his name, and his little brothers name.
Gave this to our son before his baby sister was born and he loved it. We still read it a year later. This is a great gift to start preparing a boy to become a big brother. I ordered another copy and gave it to a friend when she was also pregnant with her 2nd child.
