Amazon.com Review Angus the Answer Dog is back! This time the ever-helpful pooch is here to help kids learn all about their new baby siblings. As in the other popular titles in Heidi Murkoff's What to Expect Kids series, including What to Expect When Mommy's Having a Baby and What to Expect When You Use the Potty, the format is fun, friendly, and informative. Each two-page spread features a question likely to be asked by new big brothers or sisters: "What do new babies look like?" "Why do new babies cry so much?" "Why can't new babies do anything by themselves?" "Why do new babies get so many presents?" In his sensitive, respectful way, Angus answers each of the questions and offers some fun activities to help children get to know the newest member of their family, as well as making sure they get their own needs met. ("It's nice to be held, even when you're big.") In her series for kids, Heidi Murkoff, coauthor of the bestselling pregnancy book (for grownups), What to Expect When You're Expecting, bestows a gift upon both children and parents, guiding them through some of life's tougher transitions. Her honest, down-to-earth style is reassuring to every reader who is expecting something--or someone--new! Laura Rader's cartoonish illustrations are a perfect match for Murkoff's easy-going text. Pull up a cozy chair and read aloud to big sister or brother while the new baby naps or eats. (Ages 2 to 5) --Emilie Coulter
Product Description
Growing Up Just Got Easier...With the help of Angus, the lovable Answer Dog, best-selling author Heidi Murkoff extends a hand to children and parents as they tackle life's first experiences together. Congratulations! The new baby you've spent the last nine months preparing for has finally arrived. Although you may be prepared and thrilled, what about your older child? As your preschooler makes the transition from only child to older sibling, he or she will be excited, curious, and somewhat anxious about the little bundle you've brought home. We're here to help you answer your child's questions about what new babies look like, what they do and don't do, and what having one around the house will really be like. Have fun! Heidi and Angus

Creative reading for different age groups makes this a winner May 21, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Reading this book word for word to my 3 year old daughter would not have worked. We read the big question at the top of each page and answer the question ourselves using the pictures. I slip in different things from the text each time and she loves it. It has made her very excited about a event she had been growling about untill we started reading this book. She has even started "reading" it to her stuffed animals. I would suggest this book to anyone with a child, of any age who is expecting. Read it once yourself and you can decide how best to "read" it with your child.
too late or too early July 20, 2006 2 out of 4 found this review helpful
I like the When to expect series for adults and that is why I have decided to buy this book. When I purchased it my daughter was 3 and my baby son 2 months. Many of the items in the book we have already explained to her on the day the baby came home from the hospital. The stories there are also too long for the toddlers attention.
WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN BABY COMES HOME June 28, 2006 4 out of 5 found this review helpful
THIS BOOK WAS A LITTLE TOO OLD FOR MY TODDLER GRANDSON TO UNDERSTAND. I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE DONE IN A YOUNGER VERSION OF BABY WILL CRY AND YOU WILL SEE MOMMY AND DADDY PICK IT UP AND FEED OR CHANGE IT AND YOU CAN HELP, ETC. IT WAS TOO TECHNICAL TO ENJOY FOR A TODDLER.
Great Information! April 27, 2006 I got this book for my 3 year old and I think it is great! It gives a lot of really good information that is on his level and I think it will really help a lot after I have the baby and bring her home. It is really helpful in preparing him for the changes that are about to happen and get us all talking about what we can expect. I am really glad that I ordered this book!!
Good but wordy March 20, 2006 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
This is a good book, but very wordy for young children. It explains things well, but you might have to skip a lot of the words and just describe the pictures.
