Does anyone have any good books for a 2 year old about a new baby coming into the home? Jackson loves rhyming books these days and is happy to listen to longer stories.
Was thinking this could be a nice 'gift' from the baby! |

Not really for a 2 year old, but incase you encounter sibling jealousy when the kids are a bit older there is a book by the author of "guess how much I love you " called "you're all my favourites "
but that doesn't really help your original question, I shall have a think cos Im sure I have come across a couple before -------------

Yep, we've been reading "House Inside My Mummy" which he has recently started to enjoy.
Found a couple of Fishpond and will give them a go, but always nice to hear of any recommendations! |

A friend has just recommended "Zsa zsa's baby brother" by Lucy Cousins (I think she does the Maisey books) ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

My DS1 was right into Spot books before DS2 arrived so we got him 'Spot's Baby Sister' (couldn't find a baby brother version) - pretty simple stuff but a good starting point to talk about what it might be like having a little brother. Incidentally, because Spot liked having a baby sister, DS1 decided that he was going to like having a baby too - it was a helpful start anyway!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

We have "Welcome to Your World Baby" by Brooke Shields. It's great. -------------

| You could visit your local library and ask the children's librarian for recommendations - they will help you find a few different ones for you to have a look at and take home. |
