There's a House Inside My Mummy (Orchard Picturebooks) Paperback – March 28, 2002

This book is so cute! I have a very visual toddler and wanted a book to tell him about pregnancy. Most books out there is about the new baby, but I wanted to walk him through the changes with pregnancy as well... it was great! My son loves reading it, and he always hugs my belly after ❤️

My young toddler (22-months) and both me and my wife love this book. We checked out several sibling preparation books from the library and this is by far our favorite. My toddler picks out this book every night and asks to read the "baby book". She'll often pick it up and "read" it on her own too. The text is very creative and the images are colorful and playful without being too busy. It certainly holds the attention of our active little girl.We kept renewing the book until we exceed our library's renewal policy. Then we purchased a copy of our own. It's a hard to find book, but we highly recommend it for kids up to age 5.

Excellent book to prep for baby. It talks about the whole waiting process, how the mom may be tired, how the kids might see baby move and how the baby can hear them when they talk to him, etc. just wonderful.Both children in this book are male and white. I am not sure if there are other versions depicting different genders or races.

This is a lovely book in most respects. The family looks kind and relaxed. It is probably best for a toddler boy who is expecting a baby brother. The flow of the story isn't perfect (which may be just the way I read aloud) but it covers some general topics. I don't necessarily agree with the way everything is depicted but it is not negative. The pictures are good to talk about and it shows mummy getting bigger - which is really what I wanted it for.

My daughter was borrowing this book because she was due with her second baby and wanted to prepare her first little guy! He loved the book, but we didn't want the borrowed book ruined. The book I purchased was brand new, in perfect condition, and came in a very timely fashion. My daughter was able to finish out her pregnancy with her own book, lovingly touched and thumbed through to his favorite pages (not the one with the new baby's arrival!) with peace of mind. I would recommend this provider to anyone!

I would recommend this book to others with two year olds. We have another little guy on the way and this book is really helping our two and a half year old get a better accept/understand what is happening inside mama. It is my favorite of the "preparing siblings" books out there, except for the end part, which mentions about mommy making another after this baby....mmmmm..not so sure about that. But overall, that's not a big deal. Take a look and see if its what you'd like (at the end it also mentions that the baby is a boy, which works for us, but might nor for others.)

What a sweet book to teach a younger soon to be sibling about why Mommy’s tummy is changing!

We read this to my son every night while I was pregnant with my daughter and my son loved this simple story. Even now that his sister is ten months he still insists on reading it at least once a week. I don't know if it explains the situation of pregnancy well to a toddler or not but my son seemed to find the mommy in the books belly as interesting as mine whose he rubbed constantly while pointing to the book.
