With a little handholding (or paw-holding) from Angus the Answer Dog, Mommy's first-born can be guided happily and intelligently through the often bewildering experience of becoming an older sibling. For children who are about to lose their only-child status (or their youngest-child status, in larger families), this read-aloud book is a treasure. On each two-page spread, Angus asks a question: "Where is the baby?" "How did the baby get in there?" "Can the baby hear and see me?" "Why doesn't Mommy feel well sometimes?" and more, each question anticipating the next. He answers these queries with clarity, sensitivity, and attention to age-appropriateness that will be a huge relief to parents and children. Each section has a little game or idea to help children understand what's happening in their family. The introduction invites parents to add to or edit the information provided, according to their own child-rearing philosophies.
Heidi Murkoff, coauthor of the bestselling pregnancy book, What to Expect When You're Expecting, writes lucidly and honestly in all the books in the tremendously appealing What to Expect series for young children, including What to Expect When You Use the Potty and What to Expect When You Go to the Doctor. Laura Rader's cartoonish illustrations are fun and reassuring. Poor Angus will be dog-eared in no time!

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
I'm not a big fan of What To Expect When Your Expecting books but I wanted a way to explain to my 20 month twins that we're having a new baby in a month. This book goes into details such as "How did the baby get inside Mommy?" and "When will the baby be born?" It uses anatomically correct terms such as sperm, ovum, and vagina, which was more detail than I would have gone into. I was looking for a book that would explain what would happen in the house after the baby was born, and this book stops once the baby is born. It does not cover any of the post-birth issues such as how a child can interact with their new sibling or the range of emotional experiences they may go through with a new baby in the house.
A friend gave me Mercer Mayer's book "The New Baby", which my children love to have read and re-read to them and actually deals with how they can interact with the baby after it's born. Also Joanna Cole's book "The New Baby in the House" goes into some of the feelings a child may have about having a new baby brother or sister |
