Can anyone recommend and good books that prepare the older sibling for the new baby?  It seems like most of them are geared towards much older children.  Do you know of any that are bit simpler and written with a toddler in mind? thanks!

    Berenstein Bears and the New Baby. We read it to my 3yo SS and he loved it!

    Its simple - the jist is Brother Bear needs a new bed because he's outgrown his "just in time." and when he and Papa Bear get home, they find his old bed in another room... with a baby in it!?

    We have "I'm a Big Sister" by Joanna Cole and really like it. It's very practical and definitely written with a toddler in mind. There is a big brother version as well.

    Rachel Fuller wrote some amazing ones.  Waiting for Baby, Look at Me!, and You and Me.  We have those 3 along with My New Baby, by Annie Kubler.  Waiting for Baby even shows an ultrasound and nurse check.  My son loves them.  Also helpful if you are going to breastfeed.  We got them on  Amazon.
