I'm a New Big Sister: A Princess Polly book

My great niece absolutely loved it

Really cute book, bought for my toddler to announce that she will be a big sister. It's a good size and the sounds arent too quiet either

Top of the cover was torn and the batteries needed replaced. The actual story was grt but having to replace the batteries as soon as you receive it is poor quality control.

I bought this book for my 2 year old to help prepare her for the arrival of her baby brother. Firstly I like the fact that it's English (one of the other Big Sister books I bought refers to 'diapers' and 'mommy') and the story is simple enough for a 2 year old to understand. Its also great that it shows mummy breastfeeding the new baby as I was worried this would be a confusing concept for a toddler to understand so it's useful to introduce the idea before baby arrives - the other books we bought just show bottle feeding. My daughter enjoys reading the book together and I think it did help to prepare her a little. The only downside is the giggle sound it makes - I don't think its necessary and doesn't really add anything, I've found it distracts my daughter from the story. Other than that though it's the best of the 3 Big Sister books we bought so I would recommend it.

Love the simple story and illustrations. The sound of baby laughter was just lovely.

We purchased this as part of a 'big sister' present arranged for our 3 year old daughter on the birth of our second child, and it has gone down a storm partly because of the 'big sister' aspect and recognising new and changing things about our family life, but also because it makes a noise!!This is great if you are intending to breastfeed as it normalises breastfeeding without making it obvious or a song and dance about the decision which is how it should be.I do however think we might have given this to our daughter a little late, thank goodness we had bought a few other big sister/sibling books prior to this (it arrived the day before my delivery) as it spends a decent amount of time talking about mummy's tummy, packing for hospital and staying with grandparents before you get to the baby coming home bit.This is different to some other big sibling books which jump off with the baby already home and I wish I'd known this in advance as I would have switched a different book to the birth-day bag instead of this one.Overall, this is an excellent book for a toddler/preschooler girl about to become a big sister, in retrospect I would introduce this some point from 32 weeks onwards so it prepares for changes and sets expectations of what may happen when the baby is born and comes home rather than as a gift after the birth.

I think it is a nice little gift for the sister when bringing a gift for the new baby.

I liked that the baby in the book is not identified as a boy or girl so that we could talk about baby as a girl (we were having a girl). The baby giggle was a bit hit with our daughter. The interactive parts of the book were engaging and it covered preparing for baby and what it would be like when baby was home. This book really grabbed my daughters attention and she applied some of the concepts once her baby sister was home too which was so helpful and very sweet. (Note: our daughter was 22/22 months old when we got this for her in preparation for the arrival of her baby sister a month later)

We ordered a few books for our 4 year old daughter to prep for her baby brother's arrival. This book hits all of the right topics and is the ONLY book I found to show a mother breastfeeding! It shares in the excitement of baby's arrival, shows how big sister can be a helper, eludes to not all moments being happy (baby cries, and cries) but shows resolution, discusses how mom and dad go to the hospital for a few days while sister stays with grandma (this is very helpful for our situation, but I could see how it would not be relevant for those choosing home birth), and shows how mom and dad still love and play with big sister. Bonus - there is a button to hear baby giggle, which makes it slightly interactive. I watched read alongs for several books on Youtube to know if I liked the storyline and this was our favorite!

My daughter loved this book!

The media could not be loaded.  The content of the story is great and my older child likes it. I was disappointed, however, that sound of the book did not work upon arrival. I had read in the product description that I should enable sound with the button on the back, which I did, but it still does not work - this feature was a main reason for me to purchase the item in the first place. I did not expect that I would need to obtain new batteries immediately in order to enjoy the book fully.

I’m expecting and it’s a great book that will help me to prepare my older child for the new arrival

This is one of the best books to gift your toddler to prepare them for newborn’s arrival. My daughter completely loved it!!Thanks seller n amazon!
