How to be a Baby by Me the Big Sister by Sally Llyod Jones Illustrated by Sue Heap

This walkthrough on all things how to be a baby is a cute book comparing the skills allowed by older siblings to babies. It is written the way a school child would talk and is filled with humorous lists and reasons why it isn't always so great to be a baby. In the end, however, the big sister realizes all of the pros to being a baby and she realizes that her little baby sibling will not always have baby limitations.

Also by this author is 'How to be a Bride' which is on par with this book.

Welcome to Your World, Baby by Brooke Shields Illustrated by Cori Doerrfeld

This story is about a little girl who is imagining how great her new baby sister's world will be when her sister gets older. She explains all of the fun things that they will do as sisters like having tea parties and playing dress up and snuggling on mom's lap. The illustrations are adorable and this is an entertaining read. My little girl really enjoyed this book as well.

No More Kissing! by Emma Chichester Clark

A little boy monkey doesn't understand what all the hype about kissing is. It's annoying and yucky and EVERYBODY does it! He just doesn't understand...that is, until it's his turn to quiet down the new baby.

Barfburger Baby, I Was Here First by Paula Danziger Illustrated by G. Brian Karas

I love all of the nicknames this little boy comes up with for his new baby brother. He definitely has a lot of feelings about having a new sibling and in this book those feelings are explored and eventually overcome through this creative and humorous book.

Babies Don't Eat Pizza by Dianne Danzig Illustrated by Debbie Tilley

This is a simple yet comprehensive book for 'big kids' about baby brothers and sisters. It doesn't get too informative as to where babies come from but rather explores babies, how big kids used to be babies, what babies do, how they look and everything else a cihld would need to know about babies. It's wonderfully illustrated and very informative with an infusion of a little bit of humor where needed.

The World is Full of Babies! by Mick Manning and Brita Granstrom

All sorts of animal babies are explored and compared to human babies, from fetal development to the various ways babies act and interact with their parents. The text is big and bold and perfect for younger readers while the illustrations are concise and depict animals realistically. This book does a great job in connecting with the reader on some of the various activities that are universal to all babies and brief explanation of various animal behaviors accompany the illustrations. This is a wonderful book to read to explore animal development or if children are interested in babies in general (not just human ones).

A Teeny Tiny Baby by Amy Schwartz

This teeny tiny baby describes his life in a surprisingly realistic way that any child can identify with. The illustrations are interesting and complex. I love how the book explains the various options that are given to a teeny tiny baby, such as where the baby sleeps (on the quilt, in the swing, on the sofa, in the car, on the rug, on the baby's right side, on the baby's left side, on the baby's belly, on the baby's back, NOT in the cradle and with mom and dad). Even parents will enjoy reading this book as it is surprisingly humorous and realistic when it comes to doing things with a brand new teeny-tiny baby.

Benny and Beautiful Baby Delilah by Jean Van Leeuwen Illustrated by LeUyen Pham

When Benny's parents bring home his new baby sister, he has a lot of different feelings, most importantly, he does not like her. That is, until he decides he does.

It's a lovely story for any child who is going to be a big sibling and children can easily relate to the feelings Benny displays.

The pictures a colorful and very contrasty, and very visually appealing.
