I Am a Big Sister Kindle Edition

The book content refered to Big Brother not Big Sister aa the cover suggests. We wanted our 3 year old Grandaughter to have the book for Christmas to help with her expectations of her soon to arrive brother. Disappointed, I’m glad that I looked beyond the cover to realize the mistake.

This was one of several "big sister" type of books we bought for our toddler when we started introducing our daughter to the concept of having another baby in the house. The story is simple enough for an under 2 year old to grasp, the illustrations are clear, and the general message is that a big sister can take a helpful and active role in caring for and playing with the new sibling. We generally hold Caroline Jayne Church's board books in high regard at our house, and this book is one of the ones our now 22 month old picks frequently out of the shelf to read with me. From a parent's point of view, it's not awful, it's not the best ever board book on the subject we've ever seen, as the book - and most of its kind - starts from the baby already being here, when introducing the concept of "don't jump on Mommy's tummy, it hurts" to a rowdy toddler is still a priority.Note to the "Crunchy" crowd: Our absolute favorite big sibling board books are from Rachel Fuller's "New Baby" set (a total of 4 books, we currently have 2; "Waiting for Baby" and "My New Baby"), as they are better aligned with our "crunchy" parenting style, "My New Baby" includes breastfeeding and babywearing in a tasteful way that treats nursing as normal, and the mom in the pictures doesn't "whip it out", as some breastfeeding critics might say. I also appreciate that Fuller's "Waiting for Baby" incorporates going to prenatal appointments and ultrasounds with Mom, and toddler and Dad fixing up dinner while tired, heavily pregnant Mom is resting, an all too common sight at our house since I've had numerous health issues throughout my pregnancy, and require frequent rest, so Daddy being shown participating in the preparation for baby is greatly appreciated.

This is a pretty cute book for a big sister. Our daughter is 2.5 and just became a big sister to a little brother, so she likes reading this book. I will say, the book talks about some things she's probably not going to do by herself - change diapers (she's a toddler...), things like that. However, if does have some good ideas for her (play quietly with her toys while baby sleeps!), so I would definitely recommend it for the toddler age group. I'd say this book is a little too simplistic for an older child.

I like it. my daughter loves books and this ones pretty good.I'm still pregnant and trying to prepare my almost 2 year old for her new sister.It's great for her age.Only thing that's slightly iffy is the last page saying something about mommy, daddy, baby and meAnd we have another older sibling. I just add his name in there, it a not a big deal especially if you buy the book knowing it.

This is a really cute book.About the structure-I do wish they had a thicker board version. The pages are not paper/easily ripped in half, so that is great! But my 1 and a half year old has already bent one of the pages slightly since they are a tiny bit maliable. But definitely more durable than paper.About the story-It is all about big sister helping and getting along with baby. All the messages in the story are good- helping with baby diaper change, feeding, playing with baby, bath time, and my favorite - being quiet while baby sleeps.

Great little book. My daughter is very excited about the new expectant baby. I also like that the book doesn't specify the baby as a brother or sister. It just refers to it as a baby. It's a great size, simple wording, and descriptive pictures. My daughter can't wait to do all of the things the sister character does in the book.Covers all the basics that comes with a baby, feeding, changing, helping, and being quiet during nap time.Would make a great gift for the little girl in your life that's becoming a big sister.

I am 7 months pregnant with a two year who I know I've spoiled with time and love and toys. So I'm trying to prepare her for her world to completly change. This book has been instrumental with helping that change come about. She's already excited to meet and help and now we're pretending she's taking care of the baby like in the book. She knows the whole book and almost recites it fully from memory. I suppose I should update to see how she really takes to the new addition to the family.

I bought this book for my 2 year old during my pregnancy. I wasn't really sure she understood what was going to happen and wanted some way to brace her for what was about to happen. This book did the trick. Not only did it become her favorite book (and an easy for mama and papa), but she actually understood the concept of being a big sister and helping with the baby when the time came. She loves her new role as a sissy and I think "the sissy book" had something to do with it. So happy with this purchase!!

Really nice. The pictures and the sentences help to build up a sense of expectation for the toddler during pregnancy. Would say that it should be tempered with another book perhaps. This is because the toddler in this book is seemingly allowed free reign and has basically become a third parent. I get the whole 'Mummy's little helper thing' but this one is pushing the baby in the park- on her own, bathing the baby- you name it! So, we found another book where the parents are doing that stuff a bit more and the toddler is more a spectator-helper.

This is a very simple book which poses talking points and questions about expecting a new sibling. I liked it because the genders of the children in it aren’t clear so you can adapt to suit your situation, and also the questions posed helped us prepare our daughter for the journey through pregnancy, preparing for a new arrival, and helped us structure conversations with her. Gave her the opportunity to think about it all and ask us a lot of questions.

The book itself is very sweet, and will be a great help in getting our almost three year old ready for the new arrival.As has been mentioned, it references diapers - but this is minor and can be changed as you read it!I've taken a few stars off as the book arrived damaged, but the packaging was intact. So it possibly left the warehouse bent.However Amazon have been fantastic as usual over this!The book is recommended, just watch out for the standard of it

A lovely little book to introduce the idea of a new baby to our 2 year old. We read it to her before our 20 week scan and then took her with us to see baby. She then read it before bed most nights and knew what jobs she could help with when baby arrived. I'd done a fair bit if research because I wanted the perfect book and apart from the 'diapers' which I simply read to her as 'nappies' it was perfect!

I returned this book because it is aimed at the US market. The vocabulary was US English (e.g Mommy, diaper). Nice enough book but not really what I wanted.
