Thanks everyone for your replies, I went to Whitcoulls today to see if they had Theres a House Inside my Mummy in stock (since so many of you recommended it), it wasn't in stock but hopefully my local library will have a copy I can have a look at.]]> Fri, 17 Sep 2010 20:41:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35747&PID=1155612&title=book-recommendation-on-new-baby#1155612 <![CDATA[Book recommendation on new baby : We&#039;ve had There&#039;s a...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35747&PID=1153107&title=book-recommendation-on-new-baby#1153107 Author: NovMum

We've had There's a house inside my Mummy too and it is good... Also a really really simple book that DD loved was ZaZa's baby brother by Lucy Cousins (the Maisy lady).. Its so simple that she can almost 'read' it herself now...]]> Wed, 15 Sep 2010 10:36:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35747&PID=1153107&title=book-recommendation-on-new-baby#1153107 <![CDATA[Book recommendation on new baby : We have There&#039;s A House Inside...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35747&PID=1152851&title=book-recommendation-on-new-baby#1152851 Author: kiwisj

We have There's A House Inside My Mummy and it's great. It's a wee bit long for my DS (21 months) so I tend to abridge it a little bit unless I read it at bedtime when he is much calmer and will listen to a longer story! I bought our copy in a local bookstore in Sydney, but the Amazon price looks pretty good. I'd also try Book Depository, their prices are usually v competitive and they have free worldwide delivery.

We also have a book about being a big brother. It's a shorter, smaller book and a good length for C. It talks about what babies do and what big brothers can do. It's in C's room at the mo so I can't check the title/author. MIL sent it over from Oz, it's good EXCEPT it talks about Daddy giving the baby a bottle (rather than mummy BF) which annoys me for some reason. I just change the words and say the baby is having milk without referring to the bottle.

Our midwife has a pack she lends out to her pregnant couples. It has a dozen or so books, the best ones (for younger kids) I have been showing our almost-three year old are:

There's a house inside my mummy

Where did that baby come from?

Ever so, ever so

Hi New Baby!

Baby on board

And our favourite is:

Hello Baby

(we are planning our second homebirth, and this is a really sweet, gentle homebirth-based book. All the other books I have read are very much 'Mum and Dad go to hospital and then the baby comes home!' - this one is very subtle but gives more insight into the labour aspect.)

Hope all the links work ]]> Tue, 14 Sep 2010 22:10:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35747&PID=1152812&title=book-recommendation-on-new-baby#1152812 <![CDATA[Book recommendation on new baby : &#034;There is a house inside...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35747&PID=1152489&title=book-recommendation-on-new-baby#1152489 Author: Smithy77

No 1 child is almost 2 and I am expecting no 2 in January.  I would like to buy a picture book I can read to my toddler to prepare him for the new arrival.  I would appreciate recommendations of books suitable to read to a two year old and where I can buy them from, thanks!
