REVIEW EXCERPT:

"A number of features make this book one of the most creative of the bunch. First of all, the subject is unusual for a children's book, but it's a great way to introduce the idea of a younger sibling to a child. The illustrations are computer-generated, and they have another unique aspect: pop-ups. Open up Mama's tummy and see baby smiling out at you. Numerous pregnant animals also populate these pages. The rhyming story will appeal to kids, while dealing matter-of-factly with such matters as morning sickness. If you're expecting your second keiki, this book's perfect for your first..."
