Book Recommendations?
Aug. 16th, 2007 03:16 pmFor those of you that have more than one kid...
Anyone have a good recommendation for a child's book about a new baby in the house? I'm looking for something that:
1.) Is happy. Right now, Toby's too young to really think of being jealous or put out (until the baby gets here), and I don't want to put the idea in his head. I'd prefer something celebratory.
2.) Is very simple. Toby's got a very good attention span (sits through The Lorax with no trouble), but I really want him to sort of "get" this. He's 20 months right now.
3.) Preferably (but this isn't a deal breaker) is from the perspective of a little boy?
Also, for those who have more than one kid, and especially those that have them close together, how did you prepare a very young child for a baby coming home? We've told him there's going to be a baby in the house and he's going to have a brother or sister, but he's definitely too young to really get it. (To be honest, we haven't been trying TOO hard yet because there's still 4 months to go, which in toddler time is an eternity. Plus, I want to get him moved before I really start emphasizing it, because I don't want him to feel "pushed out" of his room.)
