Picture book to read with your kids

"What to Expect When the New Baby Comes Home." Part of the What to Expect kids book series. Heidi Murkoff is the author. Pictures by Laura Rader. This is an excellent series. Ms. Murrkoff does a great job explaining situations to kids. Bold typed questions are asked every couple of pages. The answers are given below it. The Word to Parents in the beginning of the book gives helpful suggestions for making older siblings feel less isolated when new baby comes home. Angus the dog is also in this book, giving familiarity to children who have read Ms. Murkoff's other books. If you have a family member or friend who is having a baby I suggest putting this book on the list of presents to buy for them if they are having a second baby shower.
