Description
A hilarious picture book to help prepare little ones for the arrival of a new baby and explain what's going on in mummy's tummy! From Kes Gray, author of the bestselling Oi Frog series.
There's a baby growing inside Mum's tum. At one month it's just a blob, at three months it's as big as Mum's thumb and at four months it has teeny-tiny fingernails...
Waiting for a new baby can be a confusing and worrying time for young children. Share this laugh-out-loud story to reassure your little one and involve them in all the excitement. Told from a young child's perspective, kids will love this funny count-down to the big day.
Clearly divided into nine months, each month the pages in the book get bigger, as the baby gets bigger too!
'A must for anyone expecting a second child.' Angels & Urchins
'Highly entertaining.' Guardian
