This is a perfect book to read to a child any time, but especially when a new baby is coming home. The wonderful artwork will hold the child's interest, stimulate their imagination and help them adjust to having a new baby in the family. Making the story even more interesting to children is the fact that the child in this story is actually a dog. Pets can go through the same emotional struggles as a child when a new baby becomes part of a family but we may be less aware of what the pet is feeling. A pet may feel the same emotions as a child. At first it may seem to the child that the new baby is getting all the attention but eventually the little brother or sister will become a cherished playmate and friend. I highly recommend this wonderful book to anyone with children, grandchildren or pets.
