Amazon.com Review Angus the Answer Dog is back! This time the ever-helpful pooch is here to help kids learn all about their new baby siblings. As in the other popular titles in Heidi Murkoff's What to Expect Kids series, including What to Expect When Mommy's Having a Baby and What to Expect When You Use the Potty, the format is fun, friendly, and informative. Each two-page spread features a question likely to be asked by new big brothers or sisters: "What do new babies look like?" "Why do new babies cry so much?" "Why can't new babies do anything by themselves?" "Why do new babies get so many presents?" In his sensitive, respectful way, Angus answers each of the questions and offers some fun activities to help children get to know the newest member of their family, as well as making sure they get their own needs met. ("It's nice to be held, even when you're big.") In her series for kids, Heidi Murkoff, coauthor of the bestselling pregnancy book (for grownups), What to Expect When You're Expecting, bestows a gift upon both children and parents, guiding them through some of life's tougher transitions. Her honest, down-to-earth style is reassuring to every reader who is expecting something--or someone--new! Laura Rader's cartoonish illustrations are a perfect match for Murkoff's easy-going text. Pull up a cozy chair and read aloud to big sister or brother while the new baby naps or eats. (Ages 2 to 5) --Emilie Coulter
Product Description Growing Up Just Got Easier...With the help of Angus, the lovable Answer Dog, best-selling author Heidi Murkoff extends a hand to children and parents as they tackle life's first experiences together. Congratulations! The new baby you've spent the last nine months preparing for has finally arrived. Although you may be prepared and thrilled, what about your older child? As your preschooler makes the transition from only child to older sibling, he or she will be excited, curious, and somewhat anxious about the little bundle you've brought home. We're here to help you answer your child's questions about what new babies look like, what they do and don't do, and what having one around the house will really be like. Have fun! Heidi and Angus

Doesn't fit age group! November 24, 2004 33 out of 34 found this review helpful
The recommened ages for this book are 2-5yrs but they really should be more like 4-8. There is far more text than any 2 year old would ever listen to. I had to reword and shorten the entire book for my 2 1/2 year old. Plus the information is way over the head of a 2 or 3 year old. Yes the book explains a lot about new babies but it just wasn't geared towards the age group they claim it to be.

Great book! April 17, 2002 14 out of 17 found this review helpful
My son *made* me read this to him over & over before his baby sister was born. It encouraged him to help out and helped me explain what would be different once the baby was here. Also included things to explain to him that I never would have thought of. Thumbs up!
A Fun Book For Older Siblings of a New Baby September 21, 2005 13 out of 13 found this review helpful
What to Expect When the New Baby Comes Home is a fun book for children who are going to become brothers and sisters. Every other page has a question that a child my have regarding a new baby. Some examples are: "Why do New Babies Cry So Much?" and, "Can I Play with the New Baby?" Angus, the Answer Dog helps to answer these questions. He also puts a paw print on pages throughout the book. Next to these paw prints are suggestions for activities a child could do that are related to the question. Examples of these are: "Think of your favorite thing to do during quiet time when baby is sleeping," and "practice burping a doll or stuffed animal." I like this book and would highly recommend it for children ages 3-8.
Super book for an older sibling! March 8, 2004 10 out of 11 found this review helpful
My daughter is 8 and she loved the book. Though it is simple, it is well written and fun to read. She loved the pictures too.
