You're going to be a big brother or sister! Become the biggest baby expert on the block with a pregnancy activity book designed especially for you! Get the "inside track" straight from me, the baby-to-be. Learn about me as I develop and g-r-o-w every day from start to finish. See how big I am with the Mighty Measuring Tape. Track the days to my due date with the cool Countdown Car on every page. Have fun doing your very own activities! Includes something for you to do - coloring, counting, measuring, jumping, journaling, and more - every day for nine months". I am really happy to see this great product for siblings-to-be. Julie has done a fantastic job covering just enough detail for anxious brothers and sisters, involving them in the learning process that is pregnancy. I would imagine that keeping an older sibling involved in the pregnancy and providing answers to those burning questions our children have for us, would promote a better bonding experience with new baby as well as mom and dad. This great hardcover book is 286 pages, and includes four colored pencils to help you write, color and draw. There is even a "Mighty Measuring Tape" included to track babies growth. #BK-MAKING $24.95 Sleeping With Your Baby, A Parent's Guide to Cosleeping, by James McKenna, Ph.D James McKenna is the world's authority on cosleeping. This book belongs on every parent's bookshelf. From the back cover: "Sleeping with your baby has been the norm for almost all cultures through most of the ages. Yet in our modern world, the practice is fraught with questions and guilt. In Sleeping With Your Baby , a world-wide recognized cosleeping authority examines why simplistic recommendations against any and all forms of cosleeping are not only scientifically inappropriate, but dangerous and morally wrong". This book explains in plain language the benefits of cosleeping, with sections on minimizing hazards and risks, and well as how to cosleep successfully. PB #BK-Sleepwith $14.95 Mama's Milk by Michael Elsohn Ross, and Illustrated by Ashley Wolff I'm pleased to offer this wonderful book, and even more pleased to see Ashley Wolff as illustrator as she also illustrated one of Attachments old favorites, Only The Cat Saw. This book celebrates the warm and loving bond between mammal mamas and their babies. With many illustrations of little ones being fed naturally, it's a wonderful choice for snuggling up to read with an older sibling as they learn how their new baby will be fed. This book shows human and animals feeding in their natural environment and can serve as a science lesson with fascinating facts presented. Included is that kangaroo's milk is pink, and calf elephants can nurse up to five years! How's that for promoting attachment style parenting.

Paperback #BK-JIMI $16.00 Saturday with Mez, by Lauren Serafin, Jason Rohrer, and Mez There are alot of things that are special about this book but one that made me want to carry it is the fact that it was designed, printed and assembled in the US. The author Lauren, who is Mez's mom, assembles the book herself with organic cotton binding in her home. Lauren and Jason say: "Exploring the collection of "baby books" at our local library, we noticed a striking absence of any mention or depiction of breastfeeding. Our child, Mez, seemed particularly attracted to books with photographs, and we found plenty of pictures of babies eating solid foods (like chocolate, ice cream, and even orange cheese curls), but no images to which a breastfeeding baby or toddler could relate. Breastfeeding is now recommended by experts across the board, so where are the baby books that depict it? We decided to create one." Saturday with Mez portrays a breastfeeding toddler during one of his typical days. The book features 28 pages of high quality black and white photos and is hand bound with love.
