I know I often say "This is my favorite!", but I will say it again. This book definitely hit home for me, as I have two younger siblings and remember what it was like when mom first brought my sisters home. I think this book would make a wonderful writing model, as it uses complete sentences, that vary from one page to the next. I do not enjoy reading things that sound exactly the same on every page. One of my favorite things about this book is the portrayal of pregnancy. Feeling sick, not being able to see your toes, and disliking foods is common knowledge when you have an understanding of pregnancy , but as a child this is not common knowledge. Children see bellies getting bigger but do not see everything. This book is great to teach children about pregnancy and the blessings it brings. ( )
