What I like:- It is from the child's perspective and addresses some of the not-always happy or nervous feelings a child may have with the birth of a new sibling. The book sends the message that it's ok to feel confused or unsure, which I think is great. While I think it's important to focus on the excitement of a new baby, it is nice to address the confusion/frustration that can happen too.- The pictures are full of detail and fun to look at.- Mommy has a realistic large tummy after baby is born- The book talks about how mommy will have to go to the hospital and will be away to have the baby. It also shows the child going to visit mommy at the hospital- The story covers right before birth and after baby comes home. It points out that the baby will need to be fed/held and mommy may not be immediately available like she is now. I like that it talks about how the big brother's life may be a little different, but that he is always loved.- It encourages children to talk to their parents if they are having a hard time or feeling sad after baby comes home.What I'm not a fan of:- Multiple pages of the book (at least 5 maybe more) are dedicated to how long mommy will be gone and how sad that might be. I agree with the other reviewers that it is way too much. When I read this extensive part of the story, my almost three year old seems a little sad/down which is NOT what I want. I usually skip some pages or make up other words to talk about how she may miss mommy, but she'll have special alone time with Grammy and Grandpa.- There is little focus on how fun being a big brother/sister will be. As I said above, it focuses more on the possible negative emotions that may happen.
