Samuel's Baby by Mark Elkin
Show-and-tell gets a lot more interesting when Samuel blurts out that he's going to have a baby!
Tricycle Press sent a copy of this cute book to review (thank you). The illustrations are by Amy Wimmer and the book is available now for purchase.
This is a silly, fun story that would be great for any sibling worrying about a new addition to the family. It is written for children ages 3-6.
Once Samuel says he's having a baby, the whole class goes around pretending they are pregnant with everything from dolls to stuffed toys to pets. They also practice the skills they'll need to take care of their new baby - which will make you laugh.
If you have a child who is insecure about the thought of a new baby, this book will help take the trauma away and give you opportunities to talk about any concerns they may have.
This book will also work well for reading aloud. Get yourself a copy at your local bookstore and share it with the children in your life.
