When I was sent this hardback children’s book to review, I could tell straight away that I was going to love everything about it. The front cover gives a wonderful clue as to what is inside.
The book is written in a sensitive way that children will be able to understand; from explaining about the baby scan photograph,to showing how big the baby is growing with the addition of some stickers.
. How the baby is getting food to help him to grow plus why a baby may cry once he has been born.
Towards the end of the book it shows the things that the baby will need and then explains about feeling jealous of a new arrival.
This book is truly wonderful; pregnant women will find it an asset for explaining to older siblings about her pregnancy and the excitement of getting a new family member.
Disclosure: I was sent the book for the purpose of the review but all opinions are my own.
Let’s talk to mummy’s tummy is written by Helen Lacey and Carla Moreno has drawn the beautiful, colourful illustrations.
It retails at £11.99 and would be suitable for children of all ages who are going to be older brothers and sisters, in my opinion.
Buy it here
As always questions and comments are welcome.
Until next time.

Brilliant idea Karen. Ideal for a child to understand about thier new baby brother or sister
Thank you so much Karen for taking the time to read and review my book. So happy you loved it! 💛 x
My pleasure, Helen, as I have mentioned it is a great children’s book x
This sounds like a really useful book. The stickers showing the likely size of the baby each week are great and I’m sure my daughter would have loved them when I was pregnant with her brother. #kcacols
Great interactive read for young families!
aw i so wish I’d read this last year when I was pregnant – my son would have loved this! his brother is now nearly 4 months! Thanks so much for linking up at #KCACOLS. Hope you come back again next time!
Sounds like a great book. I love the colourful illustrations and it’ll definitely help expecting mums tell their other child(ren) what to expect

Books like these are a godsend when preparing kids for the arrival of a new brother or sister. I wish I had had something similar when my 2nd child was due.

That’s pretty awesome, now we just need to explain how they’re made. Anyone want to have a go?
Maybe a future topic! X
I have written a post on how to explain where babies come from, Tina
Awwee!
Such a nice book. 😀 I used something similar for my daughter when I was last pregnant. It is very important to me personally that the book has a very positive view on co-sleeping and safe bed-sharing as well, and breastfeeding was important to me personally, so we have a few nice ones in our collection. 😀
It’s a great way to introduce the smalls to a new member of the family and all the changes that comes with that. 🙂

Cute. I liked Za Za’s baby brother – that was a good one too. #Stayclassymama
I think this is such a good book to use with younger kids to explain about mommy being pregnant. I believe this will be well used by many parents. Thanks for sharing the details of it with us. #KCACOLS
This looks like a wonderful book that can help little ones understand the changes that are happening to their mom #thatfridaylinky
Oh this looks really lovely! Love the weekly stickers, what a great way to build excitement around the new arrival. Anything that makes the siblings to be feel involved is a winner in my book. #TwinklyTuesday
It is a lovely book, thanks for your feedback x

We had a couple similar books when I was pregnant with my second. They were so great for prepping my eldest for becoming a big brother. #KLTR
This would have been fab for when I was pregnant with the twins! Will defo let people know about this in future!
Thank you for sharing this with us at #TriumphantTales. I hope to see you back tomorrow for the final chapter!
This looks like a lovely book for encouraging love and acceptance of a new baby. It can be tricky for little ones to understand change. Thanks for linking up with #stayclassymama
What a lovely book. Great for introdicing a toddler or child to the prospect of a new baby brother or sister. #KCACOLS
I remember getting my eldest a book when I was pregnant with my daughter, it really helps them understand what’s going to happen. This looks lovely, I like the fact even the scans are included #KLTR
This looks lovely – I did a whole series of books like this when we were expecting The Wee Page Turner! This one wasn’t available though! Looks great! Thanks for linking up with KLTR! Kim x
