New baby ISBN: 9780713641127
Baskerville, Judith and Matthews, Jenny
Published by A. & C. Black, 1994

This would be good preparation for a family expecting a baby and excellent for schools too. The author of the book, Judith Baskerville, is also the mother of the expected baby, and she and her family, as well as a multiracial class of children who are learning about birth, are the 'stars' of the photographs. Information is given about the growth of the baby in the womb, the family's preparation for the baby, the coming of the baby (though not the birth itself), baby's welcome in the family, naming the baby and special celebrations for the baby.
