How do I feel about our new baby ISBN: 9780749628185
Green, Jen
Published by Watts, 1997

Four children explain their feelings about siblings. Dean is pleased at the prospect of the new baby in his family, but Rosie has mixed feelings about her mum and stepfather's expected baby. She feels a little left out. Lots of simple explanations about how babies grow and are born, preparation for the new family member, problems like crying, feelings of jealousy and being fed up and aggression and how to cope with it. The children seem almost too mature in their approach to all this, but the book is beautifully produced, and the colour photographs and drawings help make the information accessible. Good discussion material.
