My New Sister ISBN: 9780750262859
Josey, Ruth and Powell, Jillian
Published by Wayland, 2011
Abi is going to have a new brother or sister, and she and her parents have lots to do to get ready. Dad and Abi look at pictures of her when she was a baby, and they get the buggy ready. Abi and mum choose baby clothes and pack mum's bag. Abi doesn't really want mum to go to hospital, but granddad comes to look after her, and soon there is news of a baby sister - Holly! When they come home, Abi helps dad change nappies and she learns to hold the baby very safely. Granddad brings a present for Abi as well as one for Holly, and, that evening, Abi helps dad with Holly's bath. The photographs show us a happy family enjoying the first days of baby Holly's life. The print is large and easily read, and there are helpful pages at the end of the book giving a glossary, a list of other books and websites, and some 'Things to do' to help children adjust to a new baby in the family.
