Those with a child already

I am looking for a book to get DS who will be 3 when the baby arrives talking about being a big brother to try and prepare him for the baby and get him involved.  Any suggestions?

I don't have any good ideas but you gave me a great idea!  Thanks.  I'd also like to find a book for DS about being a big bro.

I second this!  He is 5 and he gets it but I would like it to be more real for him.

My daughter will also be 3 when baby arrives.  I have "I'm going to be a Big Sister" (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/097671986X) and "I'm a Big Sister" (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0061900621).

She loves both of them. Obviously one of them is more prep than the other, but I think they're both very appropriate.  Teaches kids what toys babies can/can't play with, what they eat, that they cry, that they require attentions...I'd say age appropriate for 2-7 or so. 

 ETA: They both come in boy versions too, obviously!

I got "I'm a Big Brother" by Joanna Cole.  She has sister versions too.  DS#1 really loves this book.  It makes him feel very important.

We bought this one for DS last time and he really liked it.

Edit: Same as others listed.

The one listed is the same we got for DD the last time, we used the book as a way to tell others of the pregnancy. I tucked it away in a drawer and will bring it out again when I feel more confident in things.
