So, for all of the obvious reasons (we wanted to introduce Luke to the idea of being a big brother, the baby in the story was gender-neutral and we didn't then know the sex of the baby, etc.), this was a great book. So, I was sold on it before I even really opened it to read it ... but once I did I was certain that Luke had to have it ... the big brother's name in the story is Luke!
Almost as if on cue just a few weeks before his new sister arrives, Luke has decided that this book, which he previously had little interest in, is his absolute favorite. We read it several times a day and the pages are suddenly starting to look worn ... and, in my opinion, there is nothing better than a book that is well worn and loved!

Funny b/c we have the girl version of this...and I bought it for both Jacqueline and Scarlett on my solo trip to NYC summer 2009. I vividly remember peeking at the boy version, seeing Luke's name, and thinking that it was a perfect book. You weren't pregnant at that time, though, so I figured that I would pick it up when the time was right. Glad you found it...and it IS a great book! Jacqueline still loves reading her version.
