As you might remember, we announced that we are having a new little one in our family at the end of spring. So, we’re doing all kinds of prep reading to get my son {5 yrs} ready for his new little sister. Here are some of the books about having a new baby we’ve been reading.
But I Wanted a Baby Brother!
Oliver is super excited to get a baby brother, so his disappointment is really strong when he ends up with a baby sister instead. Oliver uses his wits to do whatever it takes to end up with a sister. soon enough, though, Oliver realizes that the little bundle has a special place in their family… even if she’s a girl. (due to the length of this book, it’s better for children that are a little older).
Sophie Peterman Tells the Truth!
Sophie Peterman tells it like it is. she doesn’t pull any punches… especially when it comes to exposing the truth behind the gross, not-cuteness of babies. This book is quite humorous and the author really has captured the voice of a child in the narration.

The New Baby
Little Critter is a classic children’s book character, which is one of the reasons why this book is so great. In this adventure, Little Critter is faced with trying to figure out how to deal with his baby sister. She doesn’t respond to his words and actions like he expects her too. Eventually though, he figures out how to relate to her.

The books in this series are some of my favorites ever. This book is a sequel to God Gave Us You
, and shows Little Cub asking question after question about the new baby that is coming into their family. His mom and dad answer the questions so eloquently (as the books in this series do) and put emphasis on the fact that every child has a special place in their family.
