  I bought this one for DS1 a few months ago. It does talk about ways he can be a helper. It comes in a “big sister” version too.

  @daffodil_shoe we have that one too! He loves to read it. And he points out all the stuff for baby in the pictures.

  We also were given this one. It talks about what a big brother can do vs. a baby.

  We need to get on this! Anyone find anything that talks about how life might change? I want him to know that Mommy will be preoccupied and tired and baby will scream and cry a ton, but also don't want it to be all negative haha...

  We have both of those books! Daniel Tiger has a new baby book but also the new baby episode and a lot of the episodes once baby margret comes are all really great!

  I also found a book at the library called "Baby on the Way" by William Sears, Martha Sears, and Christie Watts Kelly.  That is THE Dr. Sears which, whatever.  It talks a bit about contractions, uses the term uterus, optional part to read about how the baby comes out, talks about and shows a drawing of breastfeeding.
  
  @craftywitch, this may be a book you're interested in

  @leksiL I had the exact same conversation with my daughter this morning. I told her after all the holidays, it will be baby's birthday.
