Can you recommend a good book about introducing new baby to toddler?

My son will be about to turn three when the new baby arrives and I am quite keen to read more about the subject. Anything from manuals to kids stories...

Thank you

Zaza's baby brother by Lucy Cousins; Walker Books

Ellen & Penguin & the New Baby by Clara Vulliamy; Walker Books

Rosie's Babies by Martin Wadell & Penny Dale; Walker Books

Hello Baby by Jenni Overend; ABC Books

The New Baby; Usborne

My Baby Brother by Harriet Hains;DK

Also; The Ahlbergs - Peepo & The Baby Catalogue were very useful for revisiting what babies need, what they can (& can't do) and how the older sibling is able to do so much more than the baby etc.etc.

I read the Usbourne 'New Baby' book to my son. Illustrations by stephen cartwright. I liked that it had an image of the mum breast feeding the new baby.

best wishes!

I have one called Big Brother I think. S seemed to like it. Remind me to bring it for you when I see you next!

I also really like the Usbourne book, and it's still a favourite with my daughter 6 months after the arrival of her baby sister. As well as the breast feeding picture I like the way the Mum, Mrs Bunn, looks really knackered and still has a big tummy after the baby comes! I wish I'd prepared my daughter a bit more for breast feeding as she was a bit freaked out by it at first.

Another lovely book is 'There's Going to be a Baby' (John Burnigham and Helen Oxenbury). It follows a mother and her little boy through her pregnancy as they speculate what the baby will be when it grows up. It has beautiful illustrations. The Mummy is a bit glamorous though!

I loved reading 'There's going to be a Baby' and E really enjoyed it even though I'm not sure if she got the concept. Agree with BB though the mum is very glam in her heels and dresses! 'There's a House inside my Mummy' is great on pregnancy but then stops just after the birth.

We have the Usborne book mentioned and 'Topsy and Tim and the New Baby' which also features breastfeeding. Happy to lend soon (ish!?). E also likes looking through the ELC and Jo Jo Maman catalogue and talking about all the baby things.
