A birth-focused description - good for new siblings., Oct 16 1999
This review is from: You Were Born on Your Very First Birthday (Paperback)
A very pretty and sensitive book about pregnancy and birth (does not deal with conception). It is told from a second person point of view, as though the child being read to was the infant. The author focuses on the feelings of the mother while she was carrying her baby: what it felt like when the infant kicked, how the infant was fed, etc. Includes good in utero descriptions and drawings. Lacks multicultural drawings.

My children were as enthralled as I was!, Sep 6 1999

This review is from: You Were Born on Your Very First Birthday (Paperback)
This adorable book on how we all came about, is one of my favorites when it comes to children's books. My kids never get tired of hearing the story, I think partly because they love to be talked about, and because the author and artist really convey those special moments of pregnancy and birth that "speak" to children-(as well as the adults!) The first time I read it to my boys, ages 2 & 5, I had to make a real effort not to cry! It's a beautiful-TRUE story, and makes a wonderful gift for an older sibling-when there's a new addition to the family! It brings back wonderful emotions for Mom and Dad, and helps the older child realize that the love Mommy and Daddy have for the new baby is exactly the same as it is for them. Great book!!!

My son loves this book, Jun 25 2010
By Mom in DFW "Teachermom" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: You Were Born on Your Very First Birthday (Paperback)
I paired this book with pictures of me when I was pregnant, and my three year old LOVES it. He knows that he was in Mommy's belly, and he laughs at the parts where the unborn baby is jumping around, keeping the mother from getting to sleep because my little guy did the same. A sweet book to explain pregnancy to very young children.
