Told as a story, this book includes all the new experiences and information that siblings-to-be are likely to encounter. The young narrator feels the baby kick inside his mother's tummy. He listens to the baby's heartbeat during a doctor visit, and sees a chart depicting how the baby grows inside the womb. At home, his parents are preparing a nursery -- painting, setting up a crib, unpacking his old baby clothes and a special toy he remembers. When Morn goes into labor, Grandma comes to stay and they talk about the day the narrator was born and look at pictures showing his growth from newborn to toddler. He gets to visit his mother and the new baby in the hospital. And when Morn comes home, baby Eliza nurses and sleeps and cries, gets bathed and outfitted, then cries some more -- only to be comforted by her new big brother. Less
