This sweet book begins, "there's a house inside my Mommy where my little brother grows." A soon-to-be big brother wonders what the baby is like and what it's like inside Mommy's "tummy house". He talks to the baby on the tummy telephone, watches as Mommy eats "crazy stuff," and makes sure that she gets enough rest.
Perfect for any big brother or sister, There's a House Inside My Mommy describes the anticipation and wonder that a sibling experiences when a new baby is going to join the family. This charming book isn't overly saccharine nor is it too clinical. This book can be read without any worry about the need to explain the "birds and the bees" to your preschooler. The watercolors are warm and inviting-this would be a wonderful bedtime read.

I read this book to beary last night and was surprised how warm and inviting it was. The rhyme scheme is great and really makes a nice relaxing and fun book about Mommy's new baby.
