I'm a New Big Sister : A Princess Polly

Very good

I’m expecting and it’s a great book that will help me to prepare my older child for the new arrival

We ordered a few books for our 4 year old daughter to prep for her baby brother's arrival. This book hits all of the right topics and is the ONLY book I found to show a mother breastfeeding! It shares in the excitement of baby's arrival, shows how big sister can be a helper, eludes to not all moments being happy (baby cries, and cries) but shows resolution, discusses how mom and dad go to the hospital for a few days while sister stays with grandma (this is very helpful for our situation, but I could see how it would not be relevant for those choosing home birth), and shows how mom and dad still love and play with big sister. Bonus - there is a button to hear baby giggle, which makes it slightly interactive. I watched read alongs for several books on Youtube to know if I liked the storyline and this was our favorite!

The content of the story is great and my older child likes it. I was disappointed, however, that sound of the book did not work upon arrival. I had read in the product description that I should enable sound with the button on the back, which I did, but it still does not work - this feature was a main reason for me to purchase the item in the first place. I did not expect that I would need to obtain new batteries immediately in order to enjoy the book fully.

Well wrapped in bubble bag and it’s also string wrapped. It’s a gift so I didn’t open to check the inside. Hardcover book. The battery works!

This is one of the best books for children I have read. Ir is very simply but clearly explained so the elder sister-to-be is not confused but eagerly awaits the arrival of her sibling. Even the role she has to play is well defined.
