Children's Book: "What's Inside?"

Very young children cannot grasp the concept of a baby being in their mommy's tummy. Well, wouldn't you have questions at that age too? They want to know why they can't take it out and play with it!

The book, "What's Inside?" by Jeanne AshBe, does a good job of answering a young child's questions. It first describes a few things that can be opened up, and what will be found inside. Then it describes things that can be opened up, but aren't meant to be opened. It also shows what you might find inside if you do try and open the item. Lastly, there are illustrations of a mommy's pregnant belly, showing how the baby is growing inside. The last image is that of a baby in the arms of it's older sibling. So, it's explained that the baby is inside, and comes out in due time :).

MyParenTime.com highly recommends this book -- it explains the concept of a baby being inside a tummy by first using simple ideas that even the youngest children can understand. There are "child-like" drawn illustrations and lift-the-flaps that are always enjoyable by children of all ages. Young children who are expecting a sibling are sure to enjoy this book!
