In Mommy's Tummy is a rhyming, lyrical tale told from the perspective of expecting parents. Intended to be read to a toddler audience, it walks the reader through the steps of pregnancy. From the excited moment of discovery, through the grand plans of clothes and nurseries, to sonogram pictures, debating over names, and the eager anticipation of birth, it is meant to help a young child understand how they became a part of their parents' lives before they were born. It is also meant to help toddler siblings understand what's happening with their parents before their baby brother or sister arrives. Artist and illustrator Ashley Bittner brings the expecting parents' world to life with vivid, colorful, expressive imagery. The combination of simple text and luscious artwork helps children visualize their parents preparing for their arrival, while evoking the warmth and love with which we greet the newest members of our families.

This is the perfect book for introducing a young child to the concept of how babies grow. Every month the life-size drawings give parent and child a fantastic opportunity to explore how big the baby is in comparison to everyday objects, along with providing information about the umbilical cord, the womb, and the baby's developments each month. The flexible paperback binding allows for the book to fold gently across a mother's growing tummy, helping to show a young child where the new baby really is. The final spread uses a giant fold-down flap to reveal the fully grown baby ready to be born and greet the world. A wonderful book to help everyone prepare for a new addition to the family.

Jealous of her soon-to-be-born baby brother, a five-year-old girl wants to return to the security of her mommy's "tummy" but soon discovers that the disadvantages far outweigh the advantages.

Every day Mummy's tummy gets bigger and bigger but what could be inside? A fairy with wings? A boat painted blue? The Man in the Moon? This little child just can't wait to see what it could be ? A reassuring lift-the-flap book for all soon-to-be siblings.

There’s something inside Mummy’s tummy. I don’t know what it could be. Perhaps it’s a buzzing flea or a chimpanzee? It’s getting bigger every day and Mummy won’t tell me. But you can lift the flaps to see! A wonderful and fun story for young children about a new addition to the family from much-loved author and illustrator Sam Lloyd.

"This children's book encourages big brothers and big sisters to explore the development of their unborn little brother or little sister throughout the weeks of their mother's pregnancy. Playful illustrations capture the perspective of a young child joyfully anticipating a new baby. Bible passages highlight God as the author of this new life. Children will have the opportunity to bond with their new sibling before the birth and see God's creating hand in the process of gestation."--from Amazon.
