Question

Can anyone recommend a good book to read to a 2 year old to prepare them for their little sibling.?

Answer 1

There are some books that use humor for little one's and others that are more "serious" sounding for little one's about new siblings coming into the family.

Some title's I've recommended in the past to people bringing a second child home for older sibs inlcude:

"What the No Good Baby is Good For"- uses humor to explain the feelings of a little boy getting a new sibling and who isn't sure he want's to not be just an "only child".
